Easy, quick trail. I normally finish it in around 30 minutes while hiking fast. Starting at the bottom is best unless you want the end of your hike to be uphill. I like doing this one in the fall/winter since there aren’t too many trees on the trail. It does get muddy in certain spots the winter but it’s normally avoidable.
Easy trail and beautiful walk. The loop takes you around nice rocks and meadows.
I had the luxury to explore the park on a recent, short visit to Denver. The amphitheater was in a dormant state on a frosty and misty morning. Even in the muted haze, I found this to be a beautiful trail.
Great little hike if you have an hour. Beautiful trail that is easy to navigate. Great views of the red rocks.
Great trail!! Easy for walking dogs, minimal people in the morning and amazing views. Super easy access from the parking lot too
