The hike will take around two hours to complete on fairly level ground, and hikers should dress for the weather, wear good hiking shoes and bring water. Snacks will be served before the hike begins.

First Day Hikes is a national program aimed at encouraging people to get outside to local parks and wild areas. Colorado Parks and Wildlife has been participating in the program since 2012. Now, 25 of Colorado’s state parks offer First Day Hikes.

The park entry fee is $8 per vehicle, and an annual pass can be purchased for $80.
