Just a couple of miles from my house and the city, you instantly step into Mother Nature's splendor with this pleasant and rewarding hiking trail. You can choose your length and degree of difficulty with this popular hiking trail... More

We/I love hiking on the Devil's Backbone Nature trail! There are beautiful views and the trail is not difficult to hike. You can go a long way or just take an easy walk not too far. All you need to do is watch out for rattlesnakes in the late Spring and Summer - they like to live in the rocks... More

Gotta love Colorado. Hit devil's backbone for a great hike or trail run any day! My friends and I love this trail for a quick hike not too far out of town. We can do it on a weekend after meeting up at the gym or just when the mood hits us.

This trail is not among mountains and pine trees, but it is a great place to go for any type of hike you are seeking. We like it because it is close to town, and when we have visitors from "the lowlands," it is a great place for a walk at a bit lower altitude before they head up to... More

Close to town. Easy trail. You can go a short circuit or take a very long walk. No trees but great vistas. Historic area.

It's a great local area of which you can hike, take the dogs and have a great experience outside. It's so close to town, why go up to the mountains. When you don't have time to travel, explore this area, it's awesome.

Devil's Backbone trail is located just on the west edge of Loveland, easy to access with plenty of parking. Nice views of the mountains to the west, & the valley running north/south. Great rock outcrops as well.

Devil's Backbone is a great option for those wanting a hike at any length or difficulty not far from Loveland. The sun is nice and the rocks and small cacti give the area an Arizona-feel, but with a beautiful view of the Rockies. I recommend going on a weekday if you can, trails get pretty crowded on Saturdays and Sundays,... More

This is a wonderful place to either walk or hike. It has a great loop which is a shorter hike or you can hike all the way to Fort. Collins is you are willing to shuttle cars. Fantastic that you can take dogs unlilke Bobcat Ridge.

Loved the hike up Devil's Backbone and the natural scenery. The view up top was spectacular. The weather was picture perfect this time of year.
