Bear Creek Trail

Difficulty: Easy, Family Friendly

Length: 8 miles out and back

Travel: ~40 minutes outside of Denver

Notes: This is a beautiful, easy hiking trail which follows multiple streams throughout. We typically do about 3 miles round trip. The parking lot is small, so go early in the morning if you don't want to wait for a spot!

Mount Vernon Creek Trail Loop

Difficulty: Easy

Length: 2.3 mile loop

Travel: ~ 20 minutes outside Denver

Notes: Great up-close views of the famous rock formations. I would recommend wearing shoes with good tread as there are sandy/rocky spots.

Red Rocks Trading Post Trail

Difficulty: Moderate

Length: 1.6 mile loop

Travel: ~ 20 minutes outside Denver

Devil's Head Lookout

Difficulty: Moderate

Length: 2.8 miles out and back

Travel: ~1 hour outside Denver

Notes: Easy-moderate uphill climb with amazing vistas. To reach the fire lookout you will need to climb several flights of steep metal stairs - but it's worth it! (P.S this is where we got engaged!) We recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle to reach the trail head as the road is steep and narrow.
