Not much of a hike but definitely a great place to stop when driving past. It's a short walk to the viewing point and once you are there you are presented with the best view of the Painted Wall in the entire National Park.

The Painted Wall is the tallest wall in Colorado and the third tallest in The Lower 48 after El Cap and Notch Peak.
