Red Rocks Trading Post
17900 Trading Post RdEasy 1.5 mole loop trail with great views of red rocks within 20 minutes of here.
This pleasant, paved path follows the highway and weaves back and forth over Clear Creek with nice views of the foothills. There are several places to access the creek along the trail, and the area is also popular with rock climbers.
Accessibility: The trail surface is smoothly paved with boardwalk bridges. It is typically at least six feet wide. The estimated grade is moderately steep for the majority (with very steep grades over 12% on the bridges). Wheelchair/mobility equipment or stroller users may need assistance on the steep sections.
