Colorado County Rod 9
Has anyone been on County Road 9 from Cannon City to Cripple Creek?
Forum Discussion
Google Maps suggests CO 9 NW and then Teller Co 11 NE, about 50 miles a little over an hour.
There is also a county 9 (Keller?) also labeled a Garden Market (I think). From Streetview this looks like a good 2 lane road serving farms. Then 9 takes a turn and becomes Shelf Rd. Streetview ends, but Sat view looks like gravel. In Teller Co this becomes county 88. It is 26 miles (by GM) but more time than the other - so the estimated speed must be less than 30mph.
So for pickup, car, suv it should be fine if a little slow. For big RV questionable. But you can always ask locally.
