Join us in your Porsche or other off-road vehicle on the Gold-Belt Byway Off Road Tour.
We will meet at Porsche Colorado Springs at 8 a.m. Please park next door at Colorado Springs Powersports (945 Motor City Drive).
Please complete the PCA Off-Road Driving Tour Self-Inspection Safety Checklist.pdf before arriving and bring to check-in (required to participate in this off-road tour)
The tour will take you through Phantom Canyon, lunch in Victor and continue along Shelf Road, ending in Cañon City.
This could be considered a group training drive, for club members to go out on their own later in the year for leaf peeping season.
(Leaf peeping is an informal term in the United States and Canada for the activity in which people travel to view and photograph the fall foliage in areas where leaves change colors in autumn. An organized excursion for leaf peeping is known as a foliage tour or color tour.)
Phantom Canyon Road
This road is one of the most scenic and historic drives in Colorado. The route increases in elevation from 5,500 to 9,500 feet and offers the chance to see a wide range of plants and wildlife in their natural setting. The gravel road follows the route of the Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad built in 1894 as a connection from Florence to the goldfields of Cripple Creek and Victor.
The unique bridges and tunnels offer a visual link to the area’s historic past. The road condition and narrow bridges encourage people to slow down and view the scenery. Twelve stations were established along the F&CC Railroad grade to service the trains hauling coal and supplies upgrade and gold ore downgrade to Florence’s smelters. As you drive the route, interpretive displays and signs designate the historic sites along the Gold Belt Line.
EARLY LUNCH STOP Gold Camp Bakery
They offer a wide selection of German and American items. Their German menu selection is not as sweet as the typical American pastries. For lunch they offer sandwiches on their freshly baked breads, salads, soups, chicken pot pies, miner’s pasties. They have a wide selection of cakes, pies and cookies, etc. We can call ahead to order pies and desserts for take home (Address: 112 S 3rd St, Victor, CO 80860).
Shelf Road
Shelf Road transformed an untraveled wilderness into a major route for the stagecoaches and freight wagons traveling between the Arkansas Valley and the Cripple Creek Gold Mining District. The rugged route’s name is ‘THE SHELF’, a five-mile stretch of road that hugs the sheer rock walls of above Fourmile Creek.
Originally called the Cañon City and Cripple Creek Toll Road, Cañon City’s business leaders financed the road. The toll collectors lived in small cabins nestled at either end of the Shelf and collected tolls every time a horse, wagon or stagecoach passed.
The toll varied from 30 cents to $1.75 for single riders, wagons, and stagecoaches. Ranchers driving cattle along the road paid for each head. Eventually, competition from railroads put the toll road out of business. Fremont County purchased the road and opened it as a free road. This road has made for a memorable trip since its construction in 1892 so be prepared for a driving adventure.

It won’t hurt your car – your car was designed for this type of spirited driving! The 1.7-mile-long track with 7 turns is a great place to learn.

This month, we will be supporting CASA’s “The Hanger,” which is a store where foster teens can shop for donated clothing and accessories free of charge. In addition to shopping, teens have opportunities to help operate the store which provides them with valuable work experience. Many foster teens have no job experience, making it difficult to find employment when they turn 18 and age out of the system.
We will be collecting the following donations for CASA’s The Hanger:
– New or gently used adult-sized clothing in current teen styles and brands (in-season only please as we have limited storage, no bras or underwear).
– Please bring us girls’ and guys’ hoodies for fall and winter! Teens especially like Broncos hoodies!
– NEW, full-sized personal hygiene items such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, cologne or perfume, nail polish, hair brushes/combs, toothpaste, deodorant, etc.
– NEW socks
– Cute accessories like jewelry, purses, and hats
Celebrate the end of a fantastic driving season with your fellow driving enthusiasts at Pueblo Motorsports Park for a 2-day HPDE with a German twist, Oktoberfaster! All makes of porsche are welcome, as well as non-porsches (german manufactured SUVs are OK, but no trucks please) at our HPDE and we welcome non-PCA members to come have fun with their cars.

AMR Mystery Poker Run and Charity Tour

Our Mystery Tour will be a Poker Run with all proceeds divided 50/50 between the winners and Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity. Multiple cash prizes will be given to the holders of the winning hands. Mystery prizes will be given to holders of the worst hands. We will meet at 7:15 am at Porsche of Colorado Springs to sign a waiver, get your first card, breakfast, goody bag and directions to your first stop.
Four more cards will be given out along the first half of the route. Lunch (not included with registration) will be at an undisclosed location, where additional cards, to improve your hand, may be purchased for $5 each. A winner will be chosen at lunch. The afternoon will provide a second opportunity to win, with the first card of the next hand being chosen. That route will have stops with cards being selected along the way, and an additional winner. The tour will end before 6 pm at a reasonable distance from the starting location.
