I recently took a full day tour with Colorado Sightseer to the charming resort town of Breckenridge…read morewhere we spent an  enjoyable afternoon lunching and shopping. In route to Breckenridge we visited the amazing Red Rocks Ampitheater and made stops at Clear Creek Canyon and Continental Divide  to take in the scenic views while our awesome guide, Alex, provided us with an interesting and entertaining commentary on the history of Colorado. (Thank You Alex!). Great tour! Highly Recommend. Sent from my Galaxy

Christine was very patient with all the questions from my 7 year old. We saw elk, moose, and several other animals, Christine was very knowledgeable. There were many stops in varying places. The bus was comfortable with large viewing windows, and Christine had a microphone connected to the bus audio system, so we could all hear. She was very good about repeating questions into the microphone, so we were all looped into the conversation. The only part of the tour that I thought was underwhelming was the stop at Estes Park. I know some people like to look at knick-knacks in tourist towns, but I would have been happy to skip it. It was only an hour.

Ever since I saw castle rock for the first time, I have wanted to hike up to it…read more The hike itself is pretty easy and quick; the location is very accessible. About 300 ft of elevation gain and just a bit over a mile in distance. There was plenty of parking when I went. There are some stairs so it would not be wheelchair or stroller friendly. Dogs are allowed here. I'd definitely recommend adding this to your day if you are in the castle rock area. We had a nice time doing this hike then hanging out in downtown castle rocks which is less than a mile away!

I don't have much to add here except to say this is a 45 minute short and fairly easy little hike…read moreup to the bottom of the landmark rock that we see we see from the highway on the way to and from its namesake, Castle Rock. It can get slippery in places due to the rocks and dry dust everywhere so wear good shoes. (June 2026) The views are nice at the top. You're able to walk all around the base of the rock and see birds that live there fly in and out of the little spaces and crevices. There is signage explaining the history of how this trail came to be, as well as a picnic area. There are two trails, I chose the John Emerson summit trail.

I went further along the back trail and found some steeper areas with steps and a chain. This part…read moreof the trail is a lot of fun and has tons of rock formations you can run up and scramble. On the back side I have checked out some of the canyon and was shocked to even see there is a canyon there since you would have no idea from the road. This open space is full of things I wouldn't expect to see at the edge of the plains. The hikes, however, are pretty short (maybe 3 miles if you do the longest loop and explore a little) and the one path brings you back along a service road with farms nearby. The mesa top isn't the most exciting, but there are usually a bunch of prairie dogs chirping.

It's all sunny so it's a great winter weather trail to be out in the chill but be warmed by the sun rays. It's great in the spring time due to the abundance of wildflowers. I am not sure why other reviews mention quads and horses. I have never seen either. Not bikes. This is not that type of trail. I see some people walking their puppies sometimes...which off course make for some "land mines" on the edge of the trail, but that seems to be a problem on ALL TRAILS here in CO. People are just selfish and rude. No way around that. But this trail is awesome. Exceptional views and such varied geological interesting terrain.

There are many different paths that follow the creek and other water features.

That's great for bikers and runners. If that's not your jam, rent paddle boards to get out on the water. Better yet, taking it easy sitting on the sandy beach to take in the sun and weather.

I have been journaling our walks for the past 10 years (well, back then my doggie and I used to run) but the water levels are incredibly low and it is scary to see the difference. It is still a beautiful place to walk, view the wildlife, SUP boarding (a little) and spend the day with family at the beach. Here, I find my peace. I can only hope that the water levels will reach what it once was.

Great hikes and tons of views. No dogs allowed so make sure to leave the pups at home. Bring lots…read moreof water and good shoes. You park to enter, park, and then go off on your trails.

You will see deer, wild turkey, and more!

You may have to hike some paths to see some views but all in all, it's a great and easy hike. I hate visiting nature places without my dog which is why I put it off for so long. While I wish I could visit with my dog, I understand (would love to just push him in his stroller) We went on Black Friday so everyone was out and there was a bit of wait. If you can or you have the pass, def go some other time.

I can't believe we didn't know about this lovely trail sooner! It is under construction, but that didn't stop us from enjoying the part we were able to explore. It was a good 2 mile walk with options to stop at a couple places to take in the view. It's dog friendly, horse friendly, peaceful and mostly clean. You will need to be cautious while walking due to horse droppings. But overall we enjoyed walking here and taking in the breathtaking front range views, and will be back to check out the rest of the trail.

However, one star removed for the dangerous bikers who need to be more careful and less aggressive in their speeds. I come from a beach area with PED lanes and bike only lanes . And Bikers were highly encouraged to know better ! I always biked with regards to speeds and safety of walkers. Every biker that was on the same shared path at this trail zoomed at top speeds without disregard to walkers. I constantly checked behind me but some corners don't let you see what is that far away. Bikers who clearly see in front of them , need to slow down! I can only imagine the accidents to those who have earphones in. The trail is 9 miles , I only did one mile up and back. I had come to make videos for one of my many young Godsons to show the actions and speed of a requested RC car. There was a gravel flat area near the picnic benches perfect to do so. I'll definitely be coming back to CAREFULLY ride bikes ;)

So I drove over the other day and parked in a little parking lot across from the 24 Hour Fitness and got to walking and running. This loops up with the Cherry Creek Trail and there were people walking, cycling, hanging out with their dogs and such. There isn't a lot of shade so bring a hat and some SPF if you're going to be out for awhile. I ran for about four miles but look forward to coming back here again when the weather is consistently nice and exploring some more!
