February 20, 2021This is not a hike, it is a pleasant four mile walk with good views of river and rock. Many families and joggers and dogs on this 95% flat path. It was clean as a whistle, and there was no snow or ice. I saw a bald eagle here today!
February 8, 2021Overpopulated, but beautiful.
January 31, 2021Pretty and easy walk along the Arkansas river.
January 23, 2021This trail is awesome! Big Bang for your buck! Not strenuous at all. Just a hill at the beginning but flat the rest of the way. Will be back!
January 19, 2021Very nice and easy trail!
January 17, 2021Beautiful easy walk
January 16, 2021Loved this trail! Tunnels were fun! Trail was flat. Great views! The trail was closed only toward the end (last 1/4 mile) so I felt like I had the opportunity to do most of it!

November 24, 2020Fantastic trail, the tunnels were so cool! Worth it if you're in the area, especially with people that don't want a really strenuous hike. Only downside was all the dog poop--wow. Disgusting. I was embarrassed to even be walking a dog on this trail. (I picked up after mine!)
November 15, 2020The trail is nice and easy, the views are gorgeous. The last 5 times I've gone on this trail however, more than half of it is closed for construction with zero clue as to if and when it will open again. Very disappointing.
November 13, 2020November 6, 2020November 3, 2020Beautiful day with scenic overlooks. Couldn’t make it to the end of the trail due to it being closed for construction.
October 30, 2020Good for late afternoon. Easy but no shade.
October 20, 2020Nice for morning/afternoon walk or a trail run, if you're in the area.
October 14, 2020Mostly flat going up the gorge overlooking the train track and the Arkansas river.
October 6, 2020Nice walk, gorgeous views of Royal Gorge. Fun to see the train go back and forth while walking. Definitely recommend sun screen as there is not much shade!
September 30, 2020This is cool but not spectacular. If you live around here it's great, or if you're staying in the area with time to kill, it's a very pleasant way to spend your time but I wouldn't travel to it or extend my time Canon City in order to do it. It'd be great if you had kids who would love the tunnels though and one of them is quite long. it'd also be great for trail running as it's flat after the first 0.2 miles. All three tunnels are in the first 0.6 miles and by 1.1 miles, you've seen all the variety of scenery you'll get so that makes a great turn around point if you don't want to do the whole thing. There's plenty of benches for resting.
September 21, 2020Hot!!

September 6, 2020Great trail at sunset, very simple and even terrain. Great for kids or the elderly. Sucks a little that it’s closed at the end. So you can get to the end of the trail, and it should tell you at the beginning!
September 1, 2020Great trail, beautiful views. Pretty steep edge, have to be careful with kids
