Roxborough State Park

Absolutely gorgeous park. I have Verizon and lost service right when we pulled in, but it was fine since I pre-downloaded my map. We visited in early December the trail we took was super easy and looped into a big circle, making it really enjoyable. There were a few spots where the elevation made it a little harder to breathe, and snow cleats would’ve helped, so bring those in winter. The visitor center had adorable passport books and stamps, and we met one of the kindest volunteers doing a raptor study who even helped us take photos. The views were breathtaking. Highly recommend! Don’t forget to buy your pass when you pull in support your State Park 💚

Loved this place. The rock formations are absolutely beautiful. My pictures do not do them justice because the sun was behind them. Saw lots of wildlife. Would have stayed longer but I received a call for help. Grandkids loved walking the trail!

Loved this park! We went on a Sunday afternoon in October and we had to wait about 10 mins until a few cars left (the max is 100 cars at a time). It was a beautiful park and we talked to the nicest lady at the visitor center. We hiked a 3 mile loop from there and had some beautiful views! This is a hidden gem and you should check it out if you’re in the area!

Roxborough is a fantastic choice for hikers, nature lovers, and photographers — a peaceful slice of Colorado’s natural beauty worth the visit. The dramatic red sandstone rock formations are stunning and feel like a hidden gem compared to other parks closer to Denver. The trails offer varied experiences — from easy scenic paths to more challenging routes with great views.
