Red Rock Canyon features about 11 miles of trails through its Open Space. The park is open from dawn until dusk, and can get a little crowded at times. There are dog-friendly hiking trails where owners can take their dogs off the leash. <br />
These trails wind through the scenic canyon and hikers can enjoy stunning rock formations and possibly some wildlife viewing as well!
From Colorado Springs, take Hwy 24 towards Manitou Springs. Just after the Garden of the Gods turn off, you'll see the brown sign for the Red Rock Canyon Open Space.
