At 41.4 m. is the junction with SKYLINE DRIVE, marked by an
entrance gate built of stones from every State in the Union.
Right on this graveled road, which circles the crest of a limestone hog-
back, is CANON CITY, 3 m. In the immediate foreground (R) the drive,
built by convict labor, overlooks the rich horticultural and agricultural district
of Canon City and its environs; beyond is a magnificant panorama of
mountains.
Skyline drive is a popular drive for tourist and the locals. It.s also a popular place for people walking to take in the view. The road is no longer gravel, it is now paved. Also the road is a sigle lane and oneway only.
