    While close in proximity to Denver, this trail is too close to the highway. For much of the trail, you can hear the traffic and even see the road from the hike. The grooming of the trail is well maintained, and there are a lot of pockets of Aspen, which is nice for the fall. It is a popular hike, so get there early if you want parking. There's a cute picnic area. It would be shaded for the most part due to the surrounding trees. The trail is mostly uphill, not crazy steep, but not easy. There's a small loop, so this one's good for hikers getting back into shape or families. You can continue on a larger loop if you like. The junctions are clearly marked with signs. I advise you take a look at the map to keep from going on the wrong path. We will not likely be back for a while.

    Nice and easy trail right off the highway and is super easy to find. Lots of parking too. Bathrooms are located not too far up the trail where there are also picnic tables. We went on a great day for snowshoeing although it was quite windy. Luckily once when you get up in the trees it's not windy anymore. Snow condition were pretty good but there were some muddy spots since it was sunny. Overall recommend as a nice and not difficult walk/hike in this area.

    Fun easy-moderate hikes in this park! The trails provide tons of shade and once you're in the park you can't even hear the highway very much. The bathrooms are super clean as well!

    This trail is 35min from Denver so that's why we tried it out. It's incredibly easy even for a child so it's mostly just a leisurely nature hike. If you do the longest trail up the mountain it's only about 4mi so we got done with it under an hour (at slow-moderate pace). The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there's no real destination at the top of the mountain where you get a grand viewing spot. It just kind of does a lip near the top that is still covered by tree line. It is still lovely and beautiful. Note: it's right off the highway so at first it's a little loud but you forget about it quickly when you hike and noise gets quieter. *parking free, and clean toilets when you walk up about 5 min on the foothill.

    If you are looking for a relaxing but moderately challenging trail, then the Meyer Ranch Park Trail is what you are looking for. This heavily shaded trail is filled with native vegetation to fill your eyes with wonder. Depending on the time of year that you go, you will enjoy wild flowers or the changing leaves of the Aspens. Although it is heavily traveled, I still found it secluded enough to get my meditation in.

    It's not a long hike nor is it hard but it's a beautiful one. The hike is pretty much in the evergreens. For those who want quiet and fresh air, this is a good one. Good hike for kids.

    Great hiking trail - just under a 5 mile loop. Good leisurely workout out. Easy parking.

    July 29-31, 2026 - Morrison, CO…read more A hike followed by lunch on the patio at the Ship Rock Grille is a great way to experience Red Rocks. Be sure to explore the amphitheater, and if you can fit a concert into your plans, don't miss it. It's an unforgettable experience. Just be prepared for Colorado's unpredictable weather. We arrived for the concert early and waited in the parking lot for the gates to open. It was sweltering, and everyone was dressed for the heat in shorts and tank tops. Once the gates opened and we made it through security, we were only a few minutes from entering the amphitheater when the skies opened up and it started pouring. Fortunately, we had packed lightweight rain jackets, so we stayed comfortable. Many others weren't as prepared and ended up soaked. The lesson? Do your research, check the forecast, but don't depend on it. Bring layers and rain gear, even if the day starts out hot. At Red Rocks, you can experience blazing sunshine and a thunderstorm within the same hour. But, it's absolutely worth every minute you spend here!

    This place is BEAUTIFUL! We went around brunch time, and it was an awesome site to see. I can only…read moreimagine how much more breath taking it is during sunset or sunrise. There is nothing more magnificent than seeing natural beauty created by our awesome God. The amphitheater was a sight to see. It's amazing that it was man made. There are a total of three marked hiking trails. We hiked the difficult and medium trails. They weren't that bad at all. The different elevation did make it tough at times, but what an accomplishment it felt when we finished. Also, the view along the way was great. So don't forget to stop and just look around! They also have an easy trail, which is nice, especially if you're taking small children. The visitor center was neat as well with some fun facts and history. There is also a Trading Post where you can purchase souvenirs. The shirts are crazy expensive, but if you shop in the clearance section, it is more affordable. If you're hungry, there is one restaurant there with reasonable prices, but of course more on the pricier side. However, I think it would add to the experience if you brought your own food and picnicked along the way or eat at the end. You can definitely spend a whole day here! It's great for a family outing, date, friends hang out, or even just to enjoy solo. I highly recommend visiting this place, especially if you're from out of town.

It was really cool seeing the dinosaur fossils and footprints preserved in the rocks, and there are informational signs along the way explaining what you're looking at, which made it even more interesting. The trail is pet friendly, but there is very little shade, so it gets extremely hot during the day. Make sure the pavement isn't too hot for your dog's paws, and bring plenty of water for both you and your pup. We went during the day and were glad we came prepared. Overall, it's a unique stop that's definitely worth visiting, especially if you're interested in dinosaurs or looking for a short, easy hike with great history.

Thinking all the events happened millions of years ago and during the Cretaceous Era when much of what we saw was under water. Since clouds, thunder and lightning were approaching, the staff warned us about the potential of being called back. Thankfully once we hit the trail the weather was good other than being cloudy. Saw a lot, learned a lot and experienced the wonderful world of hiking uphill. haha. Definitely worth it and will be back soon to check out the entire ridge!
