Colorado's second-largest city has within a stone's throw a diverse assortment of natural and cultural attractions from fossil beds and caverns to cliff dwellings and surreal sandstone formations.
Red Rock Canyon Open Space offers a maze of trails for all ability levels right in the metro area of Colorado Springs.
Red Rock Canyon Open Space is still being developed and new trails are added to the complex frequently. Red Rock Canyon Open Space features numerous trails and dirt roadways, mostly beginner to intermediate level in difficulty, that wind through vertical red sandstone formations.
Red Rock Canyon Open Space can be ridden year round when weather conditions are conducive and the trail system gets quite a bit of traffic. Sections of the Red Rock Canyon Open Space can get rocky and sandy when there hasn’t been rain for a while. A freeride park has recently been built in the complex, a welcome addition for intermediate to advanced level riders looking to boost their technical riding.
