Gold Camp Road & The Tunnel Story

In this episode of The Midnight Drive, we take a late-night drive up Gold Camp Road in Colorado Springs—an old railway route carved through the mountains during the gold rush, now known for something far less predictable.By day, it’s a scenic mountain road.At night, people go there for a reason.They stop inside the tunnels. Turn off their headlights. Put the car in neutral… and wait.Some say nothing happens.Others say they feel something pushing their car. Or hear laughter echoing through the dark. Or find handprints on their windows after they leave.At the center of it all is a story no one can prove.A collapsed tunnel. A school bus. And something that may have never made it out.This episode explores the history of Gold Camp Road, the tunnel collapse of 1988, and the local legends that continue to draw people there at night.Some of the stories shared are urban legends and personal accounts, presented as they are told, not as verified fact.© Hondira LLC 2026
