    Tips

    Hiking

    Just before the summit of the Horsetooth Rock you leave the dirt trail through the thinning forest and head up the formation itself on bare rock. Although the scrambling is relatively easy, it is a little exposed in places and there can sometimes be loose gravel over bare rock faces. Just move carefully, deliberately, and don't be afraid to slide on your butt on the way down!
