Description
Connecting the cities of Estes Park to Central City near I-70, the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway highlights the lower ridges of Colorado's Front Range. Byway visitors will be treated to old mining towns, Victorian architecture and views of Longs Peak.
Many old gold mines along CO-72 and 119 still attract weekend prospectors who still pan for gold in mountain streams.
There is also gold to be found during the autumn season when the mountainsides are covered in golden foliage of vast aspen groves. Dating back to 1918, Peak to Peak is Colorado’s oldest scenic byway and has been captivating travelers with its aspen-covered hills for over 100 years.
