Bellvue CO: Colorado Front Range NOCO, Hike along Arthur’s Rock Trail in Lory State Park

This is a classic northern Colorado hike for a reason! Expect varied terrain starting in a grassy valley of Lory State Park rising up into the forested foothills filled with alpine meadows followed by switchbacks and a short, steep rock scramble/staircase to spectacular views of Horsetooth Reservoir and the prairie below. There are toilets at the trailhead. As always, be sure to have layers of clothing with a brimmed hat, plenty of water, a snack and poles if you use them for the hike! It is a 3.4 mile out-and-back trail with a 1,100 foot elevation gain.

And…..remember….No dogs allowed, per the American Pilgrims policy….. And please be sure to sign up, in case we need to change our plans due to the weather!
