Heron Lake is the largest of the three reservoirs that are circumnavigated by the Pella Crossing trail network. The crushed-gravel trails circling around the water are flat, wide, and easy for most trail users.

The Crags Hotel, also known as the Crags Mountain Resort, was built in 1908 at the top of the canyon. The hotel was a very popular destination. There were 3 ways to get there. The Denver and Salt Lake Railroad, often referred to as Moffat Road, passed just above the hotel. Customers could also rent a car to ride up the Rattlesnake Gulch wagon road. As a last solution, customers could take the inclined railway. In November 1912, after the resort was closed for the season, the hotel caught on fire. Only a few ruins remain.

The Rattlesnake Gulch Trail dead ends at this overlook situated over South Boulder Creek and Eldorado Springs and overlooking South Boulder Peak. There are a few different overlooks on the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail.

The trail is aptly named — looking west the iconic silhouettes of the Flatirons loom over the horizon. The trail runs through an open field and is wide gravel. Keep an eye out for prairie dogs!
