This was our first hike in Colorado and it was beautiful! Had to pay $7 to get into the park but it was totally worth it. We did the most popular trail, the Arthur's Rock Trail, and it was one of the better hikes we have been on. We were short of breath but I think it had more to do with the elevation change than with the difficulty. The view from the top was a breathtaking scene of Horsetooth Reservoir, Fort Collins and the Front Range. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Don't forget to check out the video!
