The Rainbow Trail is a nontechnical double track trail which passes by a couple creek waterfalls, with views out from the Sangre de Cristos. The trail is half exposed, half in the trees on the slope of Beck Mountain.

There is a great trail that runs parallel to North Taylor Road. You can follow the foothills of the Sangre de Cristos and enjoy the spectacular elevated views of Westcliffe and the mountains over yonder.

There is a gravel lot at the top of North Taylor Road. From here you can run south along the Rainbow Trail (doubletrack forest road) all the way down the foothills of the Sangre de Cristos or head up into the Mountains. You can run up to Lakes of the Clouds by going north, or head south along forest roads to reach the Hermit Pass ascent.

The fantastic views from Humboldt Peak (14056 ft) make this run totally worth it. From Humboldt Peak, there's a panoramic view of the North and South Colony Valleys, Crestone Needle, and Obstruction Peak. This summit is not as challenging as the neighbor Crestone Needle.

South Colony Lakes are at the base of Crestone Needle, giving you a privileged view of the peak, with green clear water surrounded by grass and a creek that flows from the lakes. This can be a good spot to camp before reaching the needle.

Horn Lake is a small lake formed by the melting of glaciers on Little Baldy Mountain and Mount Adams. The trail goes up following Horn Creek. It is not so well-maintained, but still worth it.

Comanche Lake is a beautiful alpine lake in San Isabel National Forest. The trail to the lake is short, but can be rocky and steep; hiking poles are recommended to get down from the lake. Coming from Venable trail, you need to cross Phantom Terrace, a small ledge that connects the Comanche trail to Venable trail, this part seems to be more sketchy than it really is, you just need to have caution. The trail is better experienced between May and October due to snow and muddy conditions.
