Gold Camp Road, Colorado Springs, CO
Brianna Campbell and Jordan McDonald hike up this historic mining road that in 1939 became a free public road and remained open to vehicular travel until 1988 when a portion of tunnel 3 on the road collapsed in on itself. Despite several urban myths about the area that claim a bus full of school children became stuck and killed during the accident, many locals enjoy recreating around the "haunted" area.
