A local recommended this park + referred to it as “discount Sedona”. Cool place to hike + scramble that’s away from the crowds. If you’re looking for a hidden gem away from tourist crowds, this is a great place that you’ll likely have to yourself, or only see 1-2 other parties.

Oil field flats Red Canyon Park 4 mile creek sand Gulch shelf Road these all come to mind when you think north of canon city. You can even go all the way up shelf Road to cripple Creek Colorado hopefully you’re not afraid of heights they don’t call it shelf Road for nothing. San Gulch is known for some world-class rock climbing wonderful camping sites beautiful views if you look to the south you can see the wonderful beautiful wet mountains range. To the east gigantic granite rock faces were you can go up and over to Phantom Canyon the west beautiful red rock ridges the top out into whiskey Park Deerhaven Hyde Park Rd. red Canyon national Park is a beautiful place to take a hike have a picnic have a family get together or if you just feel like getting out of town blowing off some steam see most of us in Colorado. Are drawn to the mountains it’s our sanctuary it’s our church it’s where we lose our self and we find our self. And you won’t understand it tell you felt it yourself there’s something about these granite mountains the wind whispering through the pine trees the water rushing down the canyons and the gorgeous sunrises sunsets it’s that Colorado love.
Good memories of a place I took my two sons in 2003. Back then I drove them up the riverbed in my 4 wheel drive. Now in 2022 the riverbed has dropped considerably. With new terrain the canyon is a bit deeper & can only be seen by foot. The hike is an adventure as you turn each corner to find a new view of the canyon walls.
I came across this park on Google Maps on a road trip and ended up camping a night there. I loved every minute! It's free to hike and to camp, and the views are awesome.
Had an Amazing day.. Beautiful ❤️🤗🏞️🤗❤️Also have a video over 5 minutes long, maybe add that as well soon. ❤️🤗🏞️🤗❤️I found that I can't upload the video. The length is Too long. It is on my Facebook page. Sorry, just wished Google maps would change this issue...
Rolled in before sundown. Set up the ol tent and slept peacefully. Outhouse wasn't too shabby. Hiked around and there are some great views. Good place to camp for free.
Nice dirt road drive thru hills, forest and red rocks. Lots of picnic areas. Did not find any hiking trails. Good if you are just looking for a sometimes rough but scenic road drive.
Awesome campsites, but I would recommend getting not going in a crossover or larger and definitely at least AWD. The road is pretty rugged out in areas and there’s a big curb you need to go over to even enter the park. But, if you can get back to them you’ll find beautiful, private and spacious campsites with beautiful views!

Definitely a blue black diamond trails in parts. Summer season itâs full of tourists who are enjoying the path as well. So just be mindful you wonât be able to send as much as you would like because you have to watch for p

An eclectic gift shop, clothing store, and fun shopping experience located in the heart of Cañon City. The owners are friendly and knowledgeable about the events and happenings in the area, and we left with maps and suggestions for things to do on f
Great 1.5 mile hike on the Royal Gorge Overlook Loop with just as good of views of the Royal Gorge as the park without the cost. The most scenic hike I've been on.
I will start by saying I am very picky about my food and I leave reviews often. Rarely do I leave a 5***** review.
The food here is fresh, tasty and authentic.
The price is decent, around $20-$30 per person, but definitely worth it.
The playground is located in Centennial park next to Royal gorge and has a variety of features for kids of all ages, including a walkway, pond, splash pad, sliding structures, and benches and picnic areas.
The walkway is perfect for a leisurely stro
Beautiful year round. Nice trail, safe for walking, running, bike riding. Plenty of scenery to enjoy and maybe photograph. Informative plaques are great! They even provide specific sanitary bags to dispose of what your dog may have left behind. Easy
What a great place! So clean and well organized. The staff are all so nice and helpful. Tons of items! They recently revamped their book section and it is super nice and well organized. They have a large selection of books. I picked up a large Picass

This is a comfortable park for our church potlucks because it has the large oversized Pavilion to get out of the sun or out of the rain. There is room to run around as well as a playground and other amenities. It has lots of parking and lots of grass
