This surprisingly green trail winds past some fantastical rock formations and a few other interesting sights, including a beaver pond. The centerpiece of your run is Reynolds Hill, but the maintained trail never actually goes up the hill.

The Vedauwoo Trail is very short, but also a lot of fun, and you can expect to share it with a lot of other people — especially families with kids. (Vedauwoo is roughly pronounced "VEE-da-voo," and comes from an Arapaho word meaning "earth-born.") There are many side trails mixed in with the rocks here, plus picnic tables to rest at. Hikers often pause to scramble to the top of some of the rocks, but don't forget you have to be able to make your way down safely, too.

This popular trail isn't a hard run as such, but it is made more challenging than it seems at first due to the presence of lots of rocks and roots and even the occasional fallen tree in the trail, and lots of other trail users including walkers and mountain bikers. The centerpiece of the loop is an iconic outcropping of Sherman Granite that does look a bit like a turtle when viewed from the right angle.
