We keep finding new paths.

We have done this trail many times. The goal is to hike a loop and end up in the right parking lot. Last weekend we accomplished that. We took the Morrison slide trail to the top and hiked down the other side. It is fair...More

So close

This awesome park is really convenient to much of Denver; just off Hwy 93 and near I-70. Good biking on quite steep trails.

Go to hike

We did this hike 3-4 times this winter. It is quiet and fun at the top. You can do up and down or we finally found how to do a 3-4 mile loop. Just be careful to go back to the parking lot you came...More

Scenic Hike

Our son and his wife took us here for a short hike because of its easy terrain good for us “mature” adults. Good restroom facilities at the trail head and plenty of parking most days. Close to Red Rocks and Dinosaur Ridge as well.

Nice Trail Hike

Had a nice time walking the Red Rocks and Morrison Slide trails. There were some hills to go up, but not too challenging even for this flatlander from Florida. Found some GeoCaches along the way. Some Caches seemed sketchy since they were off the trail...More

We started on Red Rocks trail and got out there to where Cherry Gulch trail is. I recommend taking Cherry Gulch trail. It's a little more elevation and rocky with switch backs. When you get to the top you can see a nice view of...More

Excellent hiking spot

Great place for a moderate hike. The usual loop from the parking lot around the hill that meets up with the Red Rocks trail on the west is about 5 miles round trip. It's totally doable for kids and dogs love it too. The stream...More
