메사 카운티 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Simply wonderful, brilliant views!

The Serpents Lower Trailhead serves as the starting point for hikes on the Serpents Trail. This trail climbs over 16 switchbacks and was once part of the park road. Today, Rim Rock Drive still has a few curves to negotiate, but they are much more pleasant.

This canyon hike is one of the more scenic ones from the trailhead. It ends with a waterfall running off into a pool of water. For most, this is the turnaround point, but you can continue on by climbing up over the waterfall and some more loose terrain. In the winter when the path over the waterfall is covered in snow, unless you have spikes, I'd recommend turning around here.

Wildwood Trailhead is within the boundaries of Colorado National Monument, which has an entry fee. From this trailhead, you can access a few trails, such as Ute Canyon and Corkscrew Trail. The parking lot is small, so it's not ideal for RV's. Also the trailhead doesn't have any facilities such as pit toilets or water.

Enjoy the view of Liberty Cap from the trail junction. To reach the summit requires some good scrambling skills and a bit of climbing background. Please DO NOT attempt without proper footwear and experience.

There are many waterfalls along the trail as tributaries drain into the Big Dominguez Creek. Spring is the best time to see their flow. This waterfall makes for one of the most scenic swimming holes.

Newspaper Rock is popular area for rock art and is evidence of an ancient Ute tribe's hunting and traveling area. The Ute people migrated to the Four Corners region by 1300, from where they continued to disperse across the present-day Utah, Colorado, and northern New Mexico over next two centuries.
