    Hiking

    This short, but steep section of switchbacks between the junction of the Westridge and Timber Trail and the junction of the West Gulch and Timber Trail packs a punch! Fortunately you are protected from the sun by tall pine trees that line the trail and get great views of the main Lory State Park area and of Horsetooth Reservoir through the trees.
