Skyline Drive

A few miles west of Canon City is the entrance to Skyline Drive, off Highway 50. It is a one-way, paved road that runs about 3 miles along an extremely narrow 800 foot high ridge and winds along following the crest of the Dakota hogback. In many locations the ridge is only as wide as the road, with sheer drops on both sides. Skyline is open to drive, but you must drive slowly and carefully.

Down the way Dinosaur tracks were found. You can drive a little past it to park and get out and take a look at them.

There is Canon! It is a fun drive! I reccommend taking it. Did I mention the inmates built it?!?
