Beautiful state park only 40 mins from Denver, beautiful drive, I was surprised to find animals so nearby the trails, these photos I took are from the easy trail I took. 100% recommend for those who are looking to get out and enjoy nature NEARBY
I was pleasantly surprised at how close this was to Denver and that it did have some dramatic views! Park design is so interesting!!! Walking out on the lower loop trail and coming back - there were different views that were pretty cool! It was my first park that I actually walked around at here and it was so casual and gorgeous! I definitely plan to go back! I did go on Mother's Day and there was a line, but it moved pretty quickly. Got there around 10:30am and it was "one car in one car out". There was a lot of taxidermy inside the visitor center!
Now you can add a discounted state park pass with your Colorado vehicle registration and this park was a good reason to add it. There is the Red Rocks Park to the north and also the Garden of the God's to the south but this state park definitely stands apart from those two. I had the opportunity to check out the WC trail. Nice easy hike with lots of scrub oaks along the way with in season yellow flowers with a small stream crossing. It was only a few samples of many trails offered by this state park. In order to get here, had to pass thru Chatfield State Park and can see many cars waiting to get it for the Memorial day weekend. However, didn't have to wait to get into this park. There was total of 40 cars at 3 different parking lots. Ran into several people while hiking the trails but didn't feel like it was crowded. Coming back again later with earlier times and hiking the longer trail.
The park had some great views on our 6 or so mile hike. There weren't too many animals during this visit, but we did get up close to a deer at the end of the hike. We did a trail labeled as "strenuous," but we did not find it to be challenging (I'd call it moderate). The trail is well maintained and was easy to navigate. What's interesting about hiking here is that there is a lot of vegetation versus the mostly rocky hikes I typically do. I believe there were no pets allowed. The place was not crowded and everyone was friendly. The bathrooms at the visitor center were open at the end of our hike, even though the center itself was closed.
First time here, we were very impressed with the trail conditions and the views. Very limited cell service, so be sure to download your map before you come. Bathrooms near the big lot by the visitor center. We'll be back.
We have lived in Denver for 18 years and have never been to Roxborough State Park before (it's almost an hour from our house). We discovered today that it is well worth the drive, and look forward to our next visit! We chose a relatively easy hike - the Fountain Valley Trail - which has two beautiful lookout spots. In total, this was about 2.8 miles and very little elevation gain. There are lots of shady spots (with rocks & benches) to stop along the way for a rest and a snack. The rock formations are absolutely breathtaking, and this would be a great hike for out of town visitors who are still adjusting to altitude but want to get out to see some Colorado beauty. A couple of tips: --The park can get quite busy on weekends and the parking spots are limited. We waited in line at the gate for about 20 minutes (with 10 cars in front of us), as they only let in one car at a time once another exited. If you're going on the weekend, go early! --Don't use the gross port-a-potties by the parking lot; walk the few extra steps to the lovely bathrooms in the visitors' center. There's also a water refilling station to fill up your Camelbak or reuseable water bottles. --The volunteers at the visitors' center - as with many CO state parks - are super helpful. There are backpacks with activities for kids, such as bug catchers and binoculars. They also have a CO state park passport booklet, if your family is challenging themselves to visit more of our beautiful parks.
This isn't a bust your hump hike! Gorgeous views at the top. Gentle slope to the top. Well marked and defined trails with nice benches interspersed around. Great parking lot
Today was my first day visiting Roxborough State Park today. I very much enjoyed my visit! It costs $10 per vehicle and there is a self pay station at the park entrance. There is a toll booth but it was closed today. The self pay station accepts credit cards. A park pass is printed out after payment is received. Ensure you display it on your car dashboard. There are many nice hiking trails in this park. I love that there weren't many people on the hiking trails. There were plenty of times I felt that I had the whole park to myself. I loved the peace and serenity of this park. There are inclines on some parts of the hiking trails. Overall, I felt the trails were easy to hike. Hiking shoes are recommended! Make sure to bring water with you while on the trail. There are also signs that warn of rattlesnakes in the park. Fortunately I didn't encounter any. However, I saw a beautiful deer on the side of the road as I drove out of the park. Also, make sure you bring your phone or camera to take pictures. There are plenty of beautiful areas to take photos. I saw a professional photographer with gear while hiking my last trail of the afternoon. Also, there are park benches at various areas of the trail to rest, have a snack or check your feet. The weather wasn't too bad today. Yesterday would've probably worked out better for good weather. Plan accordingly with a weather app or check the news forecast before planning your trip. LOVED my visit today! Can't wait to return!
Beautiful day at Roxborough State Park! I took advantage of the $29 state park pass and finally got a chance to use it and visit Roxborough for the first time ever! There are plenty of trails to choose from, I did the south rim and willow creek loop trail. All trail conditions during this time are pretty icy, muddy and slippery so be aware!
Such a beautiful view and easy to access! I hiked south rim and willow creek trails yesterday with my partner and half the trail was snow packed and the other half was slushy and muddy. Will come back to hike the Fountain Valley loop. Parking was plenty on Sunday around 11am.
I'm visiting Colorado all the way from Texas. As someone who never sees mountains this place is so so nice! The views are absolutely stunning! I came on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30 in beginning/mid October, we were able to enter right away and the fee was $10 a car for the day pass. We parked at the lot right in front of the trail entrance. The restrooms are right at the visitor center when you walk in. I decided to do the fountain valley trail. It was rated as easy and around ~ 2.5 miles which was perfect for me. The trail included two lookout points! BIG TIP if you don't hike often the valley trail starts with a fork in the road but essentially is a big circle, I would recommend to start on the trail to the right so you'll be going down hill most of the hike! If you go left first there's a point in the trail that's uphill with no shade! So keep that in mind! I didn't know that and was definitely huffing and puffing my way up.. but overall was not bad - it was a perfectly great hike so picturesque!! Would definitely recommend! Love that it checked both fall foliage and mountains on my list!
Looking for great red rock views without hoards of people? This is your place. We came here a couple of days after visiting Garden of the Gods. If you have to pick one, I would come here. There are awesome red rocks and we barely saw anyone. Covid-19: it costs $9 per car to get in. It's taken by an employee at a booth. The employee was not wearing a mask. Luckily after that, we barely ran into anyone. We hiked the Fountain Valley Trail which was a little over 2 miles and easy. It had really good views of the red rocks. There is very little shade so it was very hot when we did it. It doesn't seem like there's a ton of trails at this park, but I definitely think it's worth visiting.
This is a well maintained trail system with amazing views. It reminded us of Garden of the Gods, but without the drive. We saw so many deer who were so comfortable with us. We went at 6pm and saw a few photo shoots taking advantage of golden hour. The area we were in closed at 8.
Great hikes and tons of views. No dogs allowed so make sure to leave the pups at home. Bring lots of water and good shoes. You park to enter, park, and then go off on your trails. There is even a gift shop / visitor center with really neat displays and info on the local features of the park and animals. Very clean and well maintained indoor bathrooms attached to the visitor center and gift shop. Lots of marked parking spots. I had cell service the entire time. You will see deer, wild turkey, and more! read more

In an attempt to do more outdoor activities, I can finally cross Roxborough off my list. This is a great state park. It's pretty well paved so it's an easy walk. 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. read more
Roxborough State Park is an overlooked gem. I think of it as a combination of Red Rocks and Garden of the Gods. With its close proximity to Denver, it does the job when you're itching for a good walk. During the winter, I'm on the hunt for nearby spots to sneak in a quick hike. And as we all know in winter around here, there are plenty of sunny days where this is possible. Though having been here in the summer when the plants and flowers are in full bloom, I suggest making a trip then! This week's brief hike was the classic Fountain Valley Loop. Around 3 miles with only a few hundred feet in elevation, this is an accessible trail for most people. If you're lucky, you'll see mule deer chowing on grass and minding their own business. I love red rock formations, so coming here is enjoyable for me. Especially seeing the jagged ones that look like right triangles. Any geometry fans out there??? These are beautiful to look out, though kept at a distance, which to me is the con of this park. You can't get as up close and personal as you can at Garden of the Gods or Arches NP. Still, Roxborough is an underrated state park that many people neglect. Pay them a visit and enjoy the peace and quiet. read more

I have always wanted to go here but as I have dogs I was always feeling like It was silly to go hiking without them; that was until we got three. I don't wish trying to hike with 3 German Shepherds on my worst enemy lol yes my dogs are kind of buttheads lol but ANNNNNYWAYS I had some friends in from California and we thought it would be a great idea to do a fun hike. Now we had an eclectic group; a preggo who is veeeeery active (her output on the peloton is usually like insane) a girl that lives here in CO and likes to hike, me that hasn't hiked in years, and a girl that doesn't do any exercise...like ever. As they were visiting from out of town and don't really only proper hiking boots, or crampons or anything, and we did have some snow and ice recently I thought it would be wise to stick to something closer to Denver with the hopes that the trains would be ok for people in not the most optimal hiking shoes. Also we needed something that offered enough challenge that everyone involved felt they had a good hike. I loved that Roxborough has all sorts of trails so that you can really pick and choose the difficulty. We ended up doing an easy 2.5 mile and a moderate 2.5 mile for a solid 5 miles and it was good enough that everyone felt content. Not to mention the views of the rock formations were freaking dope and really gave the visitors a peak into this amazing state...don't worry they both just bought houses in CA and have no intention of moving here lol... I probably wouldn't come back here specifically for the dog thing because I think I should start hiking with one dog at a time; but if I had a dog free house I would absolutely come back and try some of the other trails. I will say because dogs aren't allowed there is an abundance of deer and elk that are fairly close so that was kind of cool. All in all if you're a newbie hiker or intermediate I feel like there will be some views and trails you will enjoy here. read more

Great park and beautiful trails. The views are so pretty and worth it. Overall not too difficult and it was shaded in parts. Parking wasn't too difficult to find and wasn't too crowded. You do have to pay to get in read more
Want a super beautiful and fun place to hike that's not hours away from Denver? Here you go! This is my second time hiking at Roxborough State Park and I am so in love!! Even when it's crowded, it doesn't feel crowded. There are so many different hiking trails ranging from "Omg, my grandmother could do this one unassisted" to "Dang... gonna feel that one in my glutes and quads tomorrow!" The only bummer is that they don't allow dogs and they make sure to let you know about every five feet throughout the park. But.. why?? It's Colorado, people. Everyone has a hiking dog. Regardless, if you're short on time and are looking for a beautiful (and dog poop free) place to hike, definitely check out Roxborough. read more
This was a great hiking spot for the whole family! Some of the trails were quite muddy, due to the snow melting but it was fine. The attendant in the entry booth was friendly, and so helpful. He warned us which trails would be very muddy, and told us about the different animals we may see in the park. This was a nice, less touristy place to get away from the crowds on our trip. The views were great, and there were clean restrooms to use. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area. Pack a picnic and make a day of it like we did! read more

I did the Carpenter Peak Trail on Thanksgiving morning and it didn't disappoint. Not a lot of people when I got there but when I was finishing up around noon the lot was packed. There was good elevation gain and super windy at the summit. I felt like I went through two seasons getting to the top since some of it was wooded and snow covered. I love pups but like that You don't have to worry about stepping in anything on the trail. I will be adding this one to my regular rotation! read more
I will say the views here are nice and the trails are well paved and not overly technical which is great for beginner hikers. However, with so many beautiful things to see in colorful Colorado, the overall experience was disappointing. The capacity here is VERY limited. We waited about 30-40 minutes after arriving to get in because they were full, so it was one car in, one car out while you sit and wait. I wanted to walk to the Visitor Center to use the clean bathrooms (according to Yelp users), while my family would catch up with me by car, but was told I would need to pay $4, separately, even though my intention was to drive in and my family was paying the $10 car fee. After finally getting to the Visitor's Center I can confirm the bathrooms were clean, but someone had to go ask for toilet paper. The staff at this area were much more welcoming than those at the entrance. We ended up doing a short hike because of weather and family mobility constraints which was nice, but between the staff member at the gate, long wait and cost, I was over it at this point. It's a nice park but just not worth it with so many better options around the state. read more
Loved this spot for an amazing hike! Easy drive to get to from Denver and they offer public parking at the base of the mountains. Parking is $9 for the day pass. I took my car and would have been easier to get into the park with an SUV or truck since the paths leading to parking were under construction and all dirt. It was a bit nippy on the day I visited but still so beautiful with the icy trees and leaves. Super quiet and we only passed a few people on our 3.5 mile hike. The valleys from above have incredible views and perfect photo opp moments. Can't wait to visit again! read more

Really nice park with easy walking trails through the beautiful rock formations. Loved checking out the ecosystem inside this unique park as well. Had a really nice chat with the volunteer at the park station learning more about the park. Great place to stop to enjoy some of the beauty of Colorado! read more

One of my absolute favorite parks in the Denver area. It's breathtaking and has a ton of hiking and trail options ranging from easy to hard core. Ny boyfriend and I took his parents here last year while they were visiting and the day was perfect for some light trail walking. One downside is they don't allow dogs, but there is a park less than a mile away that does allow pets. However if you are seeking to see some amazing rock formations and hike on trails, this is the park for you! read more

The city of the Littleton offers such an amazing easy-level Hiking experience at the Roxborough State Park. Plenty to see at their local Park Office, where I've retrieved a State Park passport and stamped to show I was there. The gates are currently closing at 4:30pm, according to their park hours. Right now, their currently entry road is under construction which sucks!! However, it will reopen in Spring time of 2021. They are allowing people who cannot medically tolerate a face mask from wearing one. This park has an archery range that is useful and super exciting for archery season. read more
A beautiful park near Denver! We hiked the Carpenter trail yesterday and loved it! They list it as about 6 miles although our Fitbits tracked it closer to 8. This trail offers great views and right now with the snow melt; lots of mud! It took us over 3 hours and we got to the bottom muddy and happy! read more
So far, this is my favorite Colorado State Park! It's nickname is "Mini-Garden of the Gods" because of the beautiful red rocks. Budding photographers take note, you just may find your inspiration here. The main hike that gives you a taste of the park is the 2.3 Easy/Moderate Fountain Valley Lolipop Loop Trail. On the weekends, there is a tram (more like a big golf cart) that you can ride around this trail with a naturalist. I prefer the hike. Hat and sunscreen recommended, not much shade on this trail. Take the loop counter-clockwise if you prefer a long, slow grade to return to the beginning, or clockwise if you don't mind a more difficult hill climb. If you dig this hike, you will definitely want to explore more of the park, including the Willow Creek Trail through the wildflowers (I like this one). read more
No dogs are allowed! :( This is a great/scenic hike under an hour away from Denver. You have to pay $7 for parking (cash). They close @5PM sharp (the gates close) during the winter time. There are various trails to take (3 that I recall seeing). The shortest 1 is under 2 miles long & there are a couple that are 2-6 miles long. The snow was super muddy today @ certain parts of the trail so my shoes got pretty gross but for the most part, the trail was easy to travel on. I saw birds & deer during the hike. The red rocks look like the 1s @ Red Rocks & Garden of the Gods. There's a giant house up in the state park that I wish I owned. The views are stunning. There are many picnic tables you can use across the trail & in the parking lot area. Most of the trails are loops (yay). Watch out for deer poop. read more
If there is one drawback to this park, it's that you can't bring your fur buddy with you. A few of the other things that are not allowed are drones, horses or mountain bikes. Also of note is that camping is not allowed either. The hiking is excellent with plenty of places to step of the beaten path for great scenic views. The park itself is close to 4,000 acres and the volunteers who work there are continually collecting money to purchase the adjacent acreage lest it be turned into high rises and the like. There is one road into the park that leads to two parking lots. Just beyond the parking lots is the Visitor Center where there are bathrooms and picnic tables. Beware that the road needs a good grading and the washboards will vibrate you off the road if you're going too fast. The red rock formations are among my favorites and if you're lucky enough to catch one of the summer concerts there, they are free. Just pay your $7 to enter the park, pack in your drink and eats of choice and be prepared to enjoy the show in a setting that rivals Red Rocks. The park also offers a 'moonlight' hike on certain nights, which might be kind of fun if you're an adventurous sort. read more
We are spoiled when it comes to state parks in Colorado, and Roxborough stands out as one of the best. You cannot bring dogs, and climbing is not allowed, but the hiking is great. I haven't done Carpenter Peak yet (later this summer!), but I have hiked the Fountain Valley loop, the South Rim loop, and most of Willow Creek. The trails are well maintained, the signage is clear, and the views are amazing. One cool thing about the park is that many of the trails connect with eachother. So, this morning I did the moderate South Rim and most of the easy Willow Creek - but, for those who are at a higher level of fitness, the trail can be combined with Carpenter Peak or Elk Valley. A little backtracking will get you a long way! The park closes at 9pm (and according to the sign, all gates are locked), so this isn't where you'll come for BBQs, camping, or anything like that. Just come for some great hiking (ranging from the easy Willow Creek trail to the strenuous Carpenter Peak trail), gorgeous views, and maybe even a little wildlife viewing. read more

This was probably one of my most favorite hikes that we did, while visiting Colorado. It was only about a 25 minute drive from our hotel. Do some research on park hours before coming here because it is a state park, so they will close access gates, during their said close time. It was funny because this was actually take 2 for us coming to this park. The first time we came, they had already closed the gates, but the 2nd time, we came earlier in the day to take full advantage of all the park had to offer. We paid an $8 entrance fee, parked and walked up to the Visitor's Center - do this, please! There are nice restrooms in there opposed to the outdoor outhouses that have toilets that have sewage down in a black hole... to fun! The park rangers were super helpful about answering questions, there were informational videos (mostly about not approaching wildlife and not taking selfies with wildlife), but there was also a 15 minute video that we watched in their small theatre on the history of the park. We did the short hike that looped us back to the same path we started on. The path was icy, so I was glad we had our snow gear on and we borrowed hiking poles from the visitor's center. It was in the middle of winter, so there were no fears of seeing bears, but I was afraid to see mountain lions and other predatory animals. The landscape was beautiful, with the angled rock formation spires throughout the first half our walk. Those made for great photo ops. Towards the end, we saw a lot of deer feeding in the distance. All-in-all, this trail was perfect for kind of a cold day outside. You better believe we were covered in full gear to shield from the cold out there. I hope to be back someday... sooner than later.. read more
What a beautiful area. We went after some snow fall in January and it was gorgeous. We saw a lot of deer and birds. Our 4 year old lasted about one mile before having to turn back. The parking fee is $7 which is totally reasonable. read more
