Nice, but Manitou is misspelled! There are also two tunnels in Manitou Springs east of Ruxton Avenue. (Hard to spot because so many houses have been built on top of the old Colorado Midland grade.) The entrances are collapsed or badly eroded and both are on private property. You could ask the landowners for permission, always a good practice.
Yes, right next to a popular trailhead. After the railroad went under they tried to use it as a car tunnel. That's why there are street lights inside. Unfortunately only one car could get through at a time, so they scrapped it.
I did not know that those tunnels still existed. Great find.
Thanks for watching. The other tunnels are much further towards Leadville. Hopefully I'll find them someday.
Love your channel!
Thank you so much!
Bro casually found bigfoots footprint and thought we wouldn't notice

I tried to get to those two but couldn't get there. Thanks for the info
I was in these back in the 80’s. So cool!!
There are two that I didn't show that are totally caved in, very hard to get to. Thanks for watching.
You showed a tunnel that was gated at the end of your video. Is that the one on the left of the road going to Cripple Creek?
