Hike the Red Rock Canyon Trail Reviews
Just like everywhere else in Colorado it is beautiful. This hike if fairly easy and is sort of dodgy if the trail is busy because it welcome dogs and bike riders. Other than that it was an easy little hike and very enjoyable. Glad I made time for it.
5.0
This is a great spot to hit in the springs if you're not wanting a really intense hike but still get some great views.
4.0
This place is stunning in mid-spring when the verdant vegetation contrasts with the red rocks.
