Review:
The Tunnel Drive Trail is a charming two-mile trail near the Royal Gorge in Cañon City, easily accessible from a trailhead near the city's main street. The scenic trail traverses a former railroad bed above the Arkansas River, offering unparalleled canyon and river views for walkers, joggers, and bikers. Crushed gravel paths pass through three granite-blasted tunnels, offering opportunities to view stunning pink and white granite rocks that were formed more than 1.7 billion years ago. The easy-difficulty trail is a favorite fitness trail for area residents and great way to explore the region's wildlife and impressive geography with young walkers in tow.
