Window Rock Landmark
Window Rock along Shelf Road is a natural arch eroded by wind and water through 1.7 billion-year-old granodiorite. This ancient rock formation serves as a popular landmark and photo opportunity for travelers on the byway.
One of Colorado's First Five Byways
The Gold Belt Tour was designated as one of Colorado's first five Scenic and Historic Byways in 1989, and became a National Scenic Byway in 2000. The byway spans 131 miles and connects five communities across two counties. The elevation along the route changes dramatically from 5,500 to 9,500 feet, offering diverse ecosystems and wildlife viewing.
