We had a change of plans late in the day so decided to check this park out. I'm so glad we did. The views on the drive in are amazing. The falls are very pretty and a nice short hike to the top. more »

If you are a road cyclist and not from the area, I recommend challenging yourself to this ride up the roughly 3 mile climb to the top of the park. The ascent gets very steep but it is well worth it... more »

By far one of my favorite places to hike. It's a beautiful place. From the Canon to the Peaks it's a great experience for all just wanting to enjoy nature. My one complaint is all the jerks not picking up after their dogs and not abiding by the rule of no dogs off their leash. Make sure you check out the visitors center. Helpful and humble folks.

Who would not love this place? Close to city and absolutely stunning scenery. If I could pick anywhere to get away from the hectic city this is it. Usually 10 degrees cooler on hot summer days. Great place to hike and relax and enjoy nature. Great place to go just to get away quickly.
