    Hiking

    Here are very beautiful views of two iconic sites of the state of Colorado.

    Running

    As the trail summits out, you get clear views of Red Rock's distinct diagonal shark fins. Directly to the east you can see the long back of Dinosaur Ridge (also Dakota Ridge), so named for the dinosaur tracks found on its far side. The contrast between the landscape's lush greenery and the harsh red stone makes for an epic sight.
