A magnificent loop. Mostly technically easy. Yet always entertaining, set in fantastic scenery with stunning views. Can be easily combined with other trails/loops.

Colorado National Monument is a breathtaking expanse of sheer-walled canyons, towering monoliths, and rugged desert terrain. Established in 1911, it preserves 20,533 acres of the Colorado Plateau, with spectacular rock formations shaped by millions of years of erosion. Rim Rock Drive winds through the monument for 23 miles, with panoramic views and chances to spot bighorn sheep, golden eagles, and coyotes. The park is a haven for hiking, cycling, and photography, with iconic landmarks like Independence Monument, the Kissing Couple, and Coke Ovens.

The Coke Ovens Overlook is a great vantage point for an impressive view of the beehive-shaped rock formations created by erosion. These formations, shaped over millions of years from the Wingate Sandstone, get their distinctive appearance due to the weathering process. It's a fantastic spot to take a break and capture some memorable photos.

A must-visit during a hike. The view is far better than in the photo.

Simply wonderful, brilliant views!

Great scenic loop. Easy to ride with lots of great views. A Must do ride.

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.

Name like this as looking like (in géant size) the coke ovens. Easy access from the rock rim drive.
