WWE Denver: One State Park a month - Eldorado Canyon State Park

Eldorado State Park is known for its rock climbing, hiking, and geologic history. Eldorado Canyon is one of the top US climbing destinations with over 500 routes. The park also features scenic trails for hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Anglers can fish in South Boulder Creek. In the early 1900s, Eldorado Canyon was a getaway resort for celebrities and politicians.

Indigenous Land Acknowledgement: I would like to acknowledge that we are on the traditional lands of the Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute) and Tséstho’e (Cheyenne) Peoples. I ask that we recognize and honor their enduring connection to this land, which has nurtured and sustained them for generations.

We are hiking the Rattlesnake Gulch Loop.
