Coke Ovens Trail\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

Located right on the Colorado National Monument Trailhead, Coke Ovens Trail will no doubt provide you with one of the coolest and most breathtaking views you’ll ever see. We’ve included a view of it above, and we promise you, it’s worth the excursion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dinosaur Hiking Trails\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

In recent years, the paleontology division of the Museums of Western Colorado organization has been taking willing participants on guided tours to find real dinosaur bones. If you’re a history buff or just want to get closer to the oldest residents of Earth, this is something you can’t afford to miss!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Corn Lake Trail\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

The Colorado Riverfront Trail System is one of the largest in our area, and with hiking, biking and horseback availability, Corn Lake is\u00a0certainly\u00a0a favorite. The water views and marshy lands are awe-inspiring, and we highly recommend a visit!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

East Creek Trail\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

Situated on the Gunnison River is East Creek Trail, a 2.6-mile loop through amazing rock formations, creeks and waterfalls to boot. It’s been touted as one of the most beautiful scenes in our area, a claim that we can\u00a0vouch\u00a0for.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Rattlesnake Arches Loop\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

Deep within the Colorado National Monument Park lays Rattle Snake Canyon, a 15.5-mile pass through the highest concentration of arches in the United States. The gorgeous views (and the possibility\u00a0of seeing a bighorn sheep) make for an afternoon well spent, but make sure to bring food and water along!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Twist-N-Shout Loop<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Orchard Mesa is home to the appropriately-named Twist-N-Shout Loop, which was designed as a bike trail but is also appropriate for those who prefer their adventures on foot. With only 4.4 miles involved, it’s great for a brisk excursion!<\/p>\n
