Red Rock Canyon Open Space

First time here. Fewer people here than Garden of the Gods and I'd consider that a good thing. The trails varied in difficulty somewhat, but none of them were terribly hard. Ended up doing about 10 miles on the various loops and got some decent elevation gain. Very pretty scenery.

It is so Beautiful here. My 1st visit. Hubbys, Bro Leaf took us up. He lives in Colorado Springs. I love red clay dirt. Great exfoliate. 🌹 Sorry about the background music. Hubby has a tiny speaker. And yes i clean up after Creed note green bags on me.

Free nice place to walk. If you need easier walking once you pull in, drive all the way to the left as far as you can go. From here, there is a trail on the left that is very wide. Take that trail. It is easy walking with pretty surroundings. You can walk in and out or do many different loops. We did in and out as my daughter can't do the harder trails.

What a quiet and peaceful place to go for an easy hike, run, or walk with your dog. If you get there before 10 AM theres very few people. A hidden gem and seems like mostly locals and not flooded with tourists which was a nice break from the crowds.

The walkways are easy but still very interesting. It's across the highway from garden of the gods so you have a view of that on your walk. It's located right off the highway so don't miss the turn like I did you can turn around and go back. A great place to have your morning coffee and go for a walk and enjoy the incredible views of the mountains.

Love this place! So many trails, the farther back you go the less other hikers you encounter. Very cool rock formations that you can explore. Definitely going back to explore more! With all the different loops you can choose your own adventure and how far you want to go. We ended up doing 5.5 miles!
