Shelf Road is the official road for the Gold Belt Tour, but being unpaved, it’s not for everyone. The adventurous with a 4 wheel drive vehicle, will love the challenging road and steep drop-offs which travels between Cañon City to Victor, passing spectacular rock formations, spires and monoliths that soar 100-feet high in Red Canyon Park.
