Incredible Red Rocks

by mayeast

Breathtaking, humbling, awe-inspiring wilderness within minutes of civilization.. . one of the world's most glorious rock-climbing and rappelling sites. Gets hot in the summer... so go equipped with water and hiking maps from the loop.. . parking is limited

• Pros: Gorgeous
• Cons: ARE in the wilderness

In Red Rock Canyon, Hike the Pine Creek Trail

by ntrprz1

Located about 13 miles around the scenic loop, Pine Creek is totally unexpected. An easy hike for at least a mile (retrace steps to get back). In no time you're in a Ponderosa Pine forest with a creek paralleling your path. Fit hikers can choose either the South Fork or Fern Creek past the one mile fork in the trail. You can rock scramble or, if you're lucky, continue on up either canyon on unmarked trails. Fern Creek Canyon is complete with ferns, flowing creek and waterfalls- if you're persistent.

• Pros: Unexpected beauty, free, good fitness outing
• Cons: small parking lot, hot in summer months, up-and-back trail

A Nice drive, and a good way to kill a couple hours, but it ain't free anymore. I believe the charge is $5 per car.

Great Hiking

by shyton

Awesome for hiking in the spring, winter and fall. If you decide to hike during the summer months, take extra, extra water and do it during the early hours of the morning or late in the afternoon. It also makes for a great sceninc drive.
