Riding the Argentine Central in 2015

[Kurt Maechner]

I found a video taken from the front of a jeep (and sped up of course) that rode the ROW of the Argentine Central to the summit in 2015.  It's a fun thing to watch.  Take a look here.

Enjoy,
Kurt

Thanks for posting the link. I have driven the road to the top twice in the early 1990's. Looks like the road hasn't improved one bit since I made the trip. If anything I think the boulders in the middle of the road have grown some.

Supposingly History Colorado possesses original motion picture footage on the Argentine & Grays Peak Railway. This footage has also been copied to VHS. Who wouldn't love to see it

That's impressive. Helluva nice view at the top, too.

Boy, would I love to see that History Colorado footage.

At this website, they describe how to bike or hike the Argentine Trail.  They mention "Pavilion Point" where there is a tall stone chimney standing.  Is this the remains of the old pavilion where the C&S trains once stopped?

No Kurt,

The Scenic City Camp dance hall was located near the AC at Pavilion Point.

The C&S Pavilion was down in Silver Plume, http://digital.denverlibrary.org/cdm/fullbrowser/collection/p15330coll22/id/77719/rv/singleitem/rec/1
