Summary: From the parking lot go through the access gate on the South end of the parking lot. Follow it east on a paved path for a short distance. After about 50 yards there will be a trail on the left that is fairly well worn. Take this path. After heading north a short ways you will see a trail that drops off to the right into a small valley. Follow this trail. Just before this trail reaches private property, it turns back south and heads back towards the campground. Once you reach the road head into the campground, and find the West end of the campground loop where the paved trail you started out on ends. Follow the pavement back to the parking lot. A couple of alternative trails are marked on the map in Blue and Yellow. There are lots of nice little trails in this area to follow, but be careful to keep your bearings about you.
Trailhead: Head North from Woodland Park on Highway 67 for 4 miles. After coming over the crest of a hill you will see the sign for Red Rocks Group camping area on the right side. Just after this turn is a turnout with a couple of picnic tables. Park in this small area.

Or, turn into the Red Rocks Group Camping area and park in the campground. (Lat:39.04498 Lon:-105.08064)
