We decided to hike this short 3.2 mile trail for a mid-afternoon activity before hitting some of the local wineries.

This is a surprisingly decent trail with some amazing views over Palisade. There are a lot of lizards, some ground squirrels and the occasional raptor.

And at the far end of this loop hike, there are a few panels of petroglyphs. Simply amazing.

One of the best sunset hikes in the valley. Best way to get there is through Palisade, not i-70. Parking for trail is a bit below the trail head, there is a restroom. Trail is steep at first, but well worth it and pretty moderate the rest of the way. Make sure you find the Petroglyphs, finding them is half the fun. Enjoy!

Nice hike with great views. Easy access and close to GJ. Heavily used including mountian bikes and dog walkers, but everyone is courteous. Some Highway noise, but once around the back side that dissipates.

With a quick easy-to-moderate 30-45’m ascent you can reach the top of the first mountain and get the best view of Palisade: the rocks, the river, and the wineries. Dog friendly trail. Highly recommended

Really good job with the boat ramp set up

Beautiful hike and bathrooms at the trailhead.

I did both the lower and upper loop at once, also went off onto other trails a few times, in all I hiked about 10 miles, the actual trails length read 8.9 miles, it's not bad if you bring food and water, I did it 6am-1:30pm but could definitely be done faster. I think this is the best hike on the western slope.

Great hike but it's soooooo muddy and slick right now
