Sad that this part of Rampart Range Rd is closed due to the Waldo Canyon Fire damage. The road was a containment line during the first few days of the fire but the fire jumped the line and ran into Queens Canyon and into the westside of Colorado Springs from there.
I used to drive the road often to the gate on the north side where it was closed. I had drove it to the gate the day before once then the next afternoon I drove it again, and it was open. I was a wildland firefighter at the time and I drove through the whole thing the first day it opened back up. You could really see and appreciate the work they did for erosion control around every single slope. I cant imagine what it looks like now but I a sure it is better.
Hey Kenneth, you can slow the speed down by clicking on the gear icon at the bottom right of the screen. Selecting a speed of .5 might be just right for you.
We used to grab some 6 packs and do the Herman Hill Climb, surprised no one I knew died.
Used to go up there and shoot at the range every weekend, and then head to the top to fish at the hidden lake.
¿Why it's close?
The 1st 1/2 of that video now goes through a burn scar.
Drove this road back in 1993, remember it being a rough road coming down behind Garden of the Gods , looks smooth as glass in this video.
It's still rough and bumpy as hell as of this comment. Drove it today for the first time
