Let your adventurous spirit run wild at the 1,474-acre expanse of the Red Rock Canyon Open Space. Sitting idyllically just south of Route 24, this city park is a prized gem in the Pikes Peak region and is characterized by eroded canyons, sandstone rocks, and “hogbacks”, a series of ridges that sit parallel to each other. Dog lovers can bring their beloved pooches to Red Rock Canyon to enjoy miles of off-leash dog loops, while families can enjoy picnic areas for leisurely lunches and afternoon snacks. A free-ride bike park can also be found at this open space, which features three phases for bikers of various levels and experiences. If you are looking to get in shape, this recreational wonderland also features dozens of hiking trails, horseback riding areas, as well as nearly 80 technical climbing routes.
