Dorostkar Park Nature Trail

* Scenic bridge along the trail overlooking the Truckee river * Easy access from the main road * Follows the River with a wide path for bikes, people, and dogs. Small walking loop. * Little bit cooler on hot days due to being near the water. * Informative placards about the area * Poop bags recommended on the trail but visibly disregarded

Manitou Springs' Mineral Springs

09/22/22

This is a really fun "scavenger hunt" to do if you're in the area, you can look at a map and walk to all the different springs to sample the water. Not to spoil the surprise but almost all the springs are carbonated, that was a bit of a surprise. We started at the Iron Spring (worst, IMO) after hiking the Manitou Incline and ended with Seven Minute Spring (best) by the Hiawatha Gardens where we parked.
