Considered one of the most unique and beautiful places in Colorado, The Paint Mines Interpretive Park in El Paso County is made of color clays once used to make paint by the indigenous people of Colorado. The 750-acre park features amazing geological formations that are frequently photographed by professional and amateur photographers for their bright purple, orange, and indigo colors. Visitors to the Paint Maines Interpretive Park can access restrooms and four miles of interpretive trails with signage. Climbing is not permitted at the park. Pets, horses, and bicycles are also prohibited. Visitors should ensure they stay on marked trails and not remove any plants, wildlife, rocks, or minerals from the park boundaries.
