Phantom Canyon Road in Southern CO w/ a Rivian, Gladiator and Bronco

[AaronInColorado]

Hey all,

We’re trying something different here. Instead of just finding obstacles to drive over (which we still do), we are looking to spend some real time exploring histories, ghost towns, mines and other fun stuff about the trails… including obstacles

Let me know if this is interesting to you all…

‘This was a fun day with a Rivian, a Gladiator and a Bronco… We did three ’trails’ that day. This was the first one. Honestly, little more than a dirt road but soooo much interesting history and fun exploration..

This interesting to folks?

Great video. Just my 2 cents, but knowing the history behind almost anything makes it more interesting to me because I am a huge nerd. I know some people just like the trail reports So I might be in the minority.

Thank you a bunch for the feedback. I’m the same way. And my wife is a historian so it helps a lot.

Any constructive criticisms?
and obviously any sharing and subscribing might help get it out to folks like us… appreciate you!

That’s a pretty sweet tunnel.

That’s a pretty sweet tunnel.

‘Yeah, there’s two of them. No support structure other than the mountain itself. Which I guess is pretty good support structure.

Good dirt road rides on motorcycles as well. Definitely not a trail or anything technical but an enjoyable area to drive/ride through. Shelf Creek is another good one right there that makes for a nice loop route.

‘Yeah. We took Shelf Road back to Canon City. I’ll have a video on that before too long. We also did ‘the bank’ trail which isn’t terribly hard but definitely has more off-road challenge than shelf or phantom.

Agreed, a good back-story can be essential. This video is history on wheels. I enjoyed it.

I guess Phantom Canyon has moved up a technical level or two… today.
