Shelf Road Sites
Directions
From I-25 to Colorado Springs, take the exit for Canon City Travel SW on CO
115 to US Hwy 50, then west about 10 miles to Canon City. From Hwy 50 in Canon
City, you can turn north at the Steinmeier traffic light (at Wal-Mart) or head
North on Raynolds. Travel north on either road as both will curve to the left
and intersect Field Avenue. Turn north (right) on Field and travel on this
two-lane road for about five miles. It will join Fremont County Road 9 (also
called Red Canyon Road) at a "Y" intersection. From here, continue north for
9.4 miles. You will see two roads on the left before the road you are
traveling on turns to dirt. Both roads provide access to day-use and rock
climbing sites. The first left is Sand Gulch area and the second left takes
you to the Banks Campground and parking for day use. For the Banks area,
travel by a corral and trailer parking and continue on the steep windy dirt
road for approximately 1.25 miles. The campground will be on your right.
TRAILERS NOT ADVISED on the Banks road.
