Started the hike at the visitor center. The walk is fairly level and there is not much altitude gain. There are very good views of the park and in the summer there is a profusion of wildflowers. At the beginning of the trail the different wildflowers are labeled.

For photographers and nature-lovers alike, this is your spot.THE TRAIL:Rampart...
