Summary: From the trailhead hike North and follow the obvious trail. Early on the trail will ascend quickly, but it levels out after a while. Then its just an enjoyable hike in the mountians. Huge boulders abound in the area and many people use them for bouldering.. Trailhead: From Denver Take I-25 North to State Highway 36, West towards Boulder. Exit at "Louisville-Superior" and turn South (left) at the light. Take the first right (West) onto State Highway 170 fro 7.4 miles to Eldorado Canyon. Continue one mile through the canyon to the visitors center. The trail begins on the North side of the Parking area.

Reviewed by Chris D on 7/22/2009 $7 is the reason few people go, but Rattlesnake trail, which is pretty hard, takes you up to old spooky lost hotel with pieces of glass, plates, and a fireplace left over. Do it once! 
Reviewed by Michelle on 5/26/2008 Enjoyed the trail and would like to explore it & surrounding trails further. A couple of things to note: $7 fee to get into the park, since the trail is part of the state park system & the trail map marks this as 3.5 miles each direction rather than the 4.2 round trip noted above.
Reviewed by Erica on 3/18/2008 I remember going when I was really young and I thought it was quite a hike. I went back not too long ago and it was still still quite a hike although I had to turn back a bit early due to the huge thunderstorm approaching. Nonetheless, I plan to do this hike again in the near future.
Reviewed by Daniel on 3/25/2007 A little crowded, but worth it for the spectacular views. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
