This 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!
Fantastic 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!)
Mostly flat going up the gorge overlooking the train track and the Arkansas river.
This 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.
