ダグラス郡周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

歩いたり走ったりする人が少ないので、早い時間に行くのがおすすめです。ダムの上の頂上で、そのまま進むと、気持ちの良いなだらかな上り坂になり、その後は岩場の道になります。

… don’t underestimate the prairie … a wonderful hike with changing landscape …

The concrete here suggests that the family milked their cows here.

… its not a lie … threre is lots of wildlife in the Waterton Canyon … watch out for Bighorn Sheep, Mouse, Beavers … and mind the rules!

The "Waterton Canyon Recreation Area" trailhead sign here marks the Colorado Trail's Northern Terminus. It's a photo opportunity for thru-hikers continuing all the way south to Durango, a journey that stretches almost 500 miles.

This is the trail head for segment 1 of the Colorado Trail. There is a vault toilet and parking at the trail head.

A wooden observation deck extends out from the trail to give you an unobstructed view of the Fountain Formation. The dramatic fin-shaped red rock formations cut out of the ground in stark contrast to the greenery at their feet. These rocks are a part of the same formation that creates Garden of the Gods and Red Rocks Amphitheater.

Roxborough State Park Visitor Center sits on the 3,413-acre Roxborough State Park, featuring dramatic red rock formations, diverse plant life, and abundant wildlife, including black bears and mule deer. The park's signature Fountain Formation is made of red sandstone and tells a geological story dating back over 300 million years from Precambrian crystalline rocks to the Jurassic Morrison Formation.
