January 16, 2021Soooo pretty! Spikes were helpful today, especially for the first part from the parking lot until the actual canyon.
January 11, 2021great scenery along the river.
January 4, 2021We walked on the upper/higher trail on the way out and did a zigzag on the way back so we could get closer to the river. Spikes weren't necessary but we did slip and slide down a rock face while exploring a smaller less traveled trail. Most people using this area are there to fish. Highly recommend as the views are wonderful.
January 3, 2021January 2, 2021Loved this trail hiking along the driver. Hiking boots & crampons worked for me. Some snowpacked areas, some dry. I had no service therefore could not record my hike. I will be back again for this one! Totally worth the drive and not crowded.
January 2, 2021January 2, 2021December 27, 2020loved it, not very crowded, peaceful hike along the water. some spots were slick but most of it was done without crampons.
December 26, 2020Beautiful! There were some slick spots along the way.
December 22, 2020Great hike! A little slick at times. I through on spikes as thr ice started to melt later in the day
December 21, 2020Really nice walk through the forest that leads out the the river.
December 20, 2020Arrived a little after noon and there were still a few spots in the parking lot. No fees for parking. Trail was easy to find, and was well packed by those that went before us. Started out without spikes, but ended up putting them on after only a few minutes. Could probably have continued without them, but felt a bit safer with them on. This was a good hike for young kids. Nothing too scenic, but nice to be out in the woods for a while. Saw quite a few fishermen along the trail, which isn't surprising given its location along a gold medal stream. Will definitely come back to this one; although maybe a bit earlier next time because the sun disappeared behind the hills shortly after 3 PM.
December 19, 2020December 15, 2020Absolutely gorgeous! Only saw about 10 people on a Monday afternoon. Yaktrax were helpful in the snow at the beginning of the trail, but were not necessary. Amazing views of the river all the way down! Can’t wait to go back one day.
December 10, 2020This was a great walk. I wouldn’t call it moderate. It was very easy. It was incredibly beautiful. I will definitely be back.
December 7, 2020Simply gorgeous trail along the river. Snowy in some spots but hiking boots were fine. Parking lot was full but not many hikers, mostly fishers down in the river.
December 6, 2020December 6, 2020Really pretty - i recommend traveling to the dam on the Gill trail though
November 29, 2020Great hike and very scenic. I had fished this stretch of the S. Platte, but never followed the trail all the way. Icy at first and last half mile. Spikes handy but not necessary.
November 29, 2020I've done this trail several times - twice in spring and once later in the summer. although great whenever you go, Spring is cheeseman at it's best.
November 29, 2020Gorgeous views! Good combination of flat land and incline
November 28, 2020November 28, 202011/28/20 – Beautiful hike in a canyon along a river. Not too difficult with a combination of shaded and sun-exposed areas. Parking was limited on a Saturday afternoon, mostly populated with anglers.
November 26, 2020Wow! Incredibly beautiful. So many neat spots to stop and enjoy along the way. My only regret is not bringing a beer to enjoy
