Review:
The Plug Hat Trail is a paved and wheelchair accessible 0.3-mile loop trail within the Colorado Section of the Dinosaur National Monument that features beautiful wild flowers and is suitable for all levels of hiker. Named after the nearby Plug Hat Rock, which is so called for looking like a top hat or bowler hat, the Plug Hat trail is located about five miles north of the Canyon Visitor Center, and right across the road from the Plug Hat Picnic area. The path winds its way through beautiful forests of pinon and juniper woodland and provides lovely views of Plug Hat Rock along the south side of the ridge. Plug Hat Trail is an interpretive nature trail that offers interesting snippets of information along the way and is an excellent hike for school-age children.
