Colorado Springs & Cripple Creek District Railway / Corley Mountain Highway
Teller County
Constructed in 1900, the route began as the Colorado Springs & Cripple Creek District Railway. Colorado Springs coal mine owner and cattle breeder W.D. Corley converted the abandoned rail line during the early 1920s into an auto toll road known as the Corley Mountain Highway.

Referred to as the Gold Camp Road since it was taken over by the US Forest Service in 1939, this scenic route extends into El Paso County. The historic origins of the rail line and the toll road are evident along the route, and it continues to be a popular attraction for local residents and tourists.
