A nice 4 mile hike through mainly wooded trails. Trails are very well marked and the trail map (copies found at the trailhead) is very clear. Nice visitor's center with rest room also located at the start of the trail. We took the longer hike, past Bear Rock, Whale Head Rock, then back down to Tripod Rock. This was obviously the highlight of the hike. It was a warm Saturday morning when...

After 6 days of being trapped in the house with the Flu and Bronchitis, it was time to get the hell out. Having hiked Pyramid Rock on a few occassions we decided to hit some other trails in the park.

We wanted a short, easy hike close to the junction of 287 and Rte 23, and well, this was exactly that! Two hours, three miles, and that includes a little side-trip you can skip if you want, and some time spent looking for a geocache (there are several along this hike, including an easy one at the parking area).We did the Red trail loop clockwise, so we started by climbing alonside a very...

Came here on a scavenger hunt (for the Hawkwatch waymark) so followed the shortest route in and out. On a more leisurely day, I would follow the Four Birds loop, but if you're here to see the view and only have an hour, this is the way to go.That view is certainly worth it!

Hiking | 0.0 miles (27 miles away)
After the first "real" snowfall of the season, we decided to hit the Six Mile Run Reservoir site. Having passed it many times, this was our first venture onto the hiking trails and certainly won't be our last. While we didn't make it to the end of the Red Trail (a sleepy Hiker), we did cover just under 2 miles on a Trail that offered scenery and variety!
