1. PLACES / PALMER TRAIL LOOP / SECTION 16
This 5.7 mile loop trail offers views of Red Rocks Canyon Park and Garden of the Gods park, it is partly shaded throughout, and you cross over a creek towards the end of the hike. Be sure to hike to the left on High Drive to reach the initial parking lot.  It is steep in certain areas, so strong hikers are recommended if doing it as a carrier hike.  This trail is not stroller or wheelchair friendly.  Dogs are allowed, but must be leashed.
