1 Arthur’s Rock Trail Foot only Moderate to Difficult 1.7 milesThis 1.7 mile hiking trail winds through forested mountainsides and open meadows to the summit of Arthur’s Rock. Along the trail hikers can travel through different ecosystems because of the nearly 1000’ elevation change. Upon reaching the summit of Arthur’s Rock, one is offered a impressive view of Horsetooth Reservoir and the Front Range from an elevation of 6,780 feet.
2 Overlook Trail Foot only Moderate 1.2 milesMule deer, wildflowers, Abert’s squirrels and views of the eastern plains can be seen along this 1.2 mile trail connecting Arthur’s Rock Trail to the Well Gulch Nature Trail. Starting from Well Gulch, the trail strolls along the ridge below Arthur’s Rock, until meeting with the Arthur’s Rock Trail.
3 Timber Trail Foot, Expert Mountain Bike Moderate to Difficult 4.2 miles and Expert EquestrianThis 4.2 mile trail ascends from the group picnic area to the ridge behind Arthur’s Rock. The trail climbs through meadows and mountain shrub, changing to pine and fir in the upper elevations, where the park’s six primitive back-country sites can be found. This trail has some steep switchbacks and rocky scrambles to cross in getting to the top of the Well Gulch drainage.
4 Well Gulch Nature Trail Foot only Easy to Moderate 1.4 milesWildflowers and riparian ecosystem line this plush 1.4 mile trail. A self-guided nature tour takes you through the meadow, mountain shrub, Douglas fir, and ponderosa ecosystems, with stations along the way illustrating botany, geology and animal life in Lory State Park. For those looking for a longer hike, the trail branches off into the Timber and Overlook Trails.
5 Westridge Trail Foot, Horse, Mountain Bike Moderate 2.3 milesConverging with Howard Trail via singletrack, Westridge mostly follows an old Jeep road along the ridgeline near Lory’s western boundary, dropping down into the forest as it turns back east through the center of the Park, merging with Timber and Arthur’s Rock. The only trail in the Park that provides views of the snow-capped Continental Divide, with perfect views of 14,259’ Longs Peak, and portions of the Indian Peaks to the south.
6 Shoreline Trail Foot, Horse, Mountain Bike Easy 1.0 milesThis comfortable one mile hike leads down to the edge of Horsetooth Reservoir. The red sandstone hogbacks offer a striking background to the grassy meadows, where deer can be found grazing.
7 Waterfall Trail Foot only Easy to Moderate 0.1 milesThis 0.1 mile trail leads back to a series of waterfalls during the spring and early summer. Picturesque rock outcroppings abut this quick hike through a riparian zone offering shade and wildlife-viewing under the cottonwood canopy.
8 East & West Valley Trails Foot, Horse, Mountain Bike Easy 4.4 milesThese trails run parallel to the main road, branching to coves at Horsetooth Reservoir or meeting with the mountain trails. East Valley 2.2 mile, West Valley 2.2 mile.
9 Mill Creek Link Foot, Expert Mountain Bike Difficult 0.9 miles and Expert Equestrian
From the South Valley trail, this 0.9 mile link offers passage to the upper elevations of Horsetooth Mountain Park by way of the Mill Creek Trail, and a connection to Lory’s Howard Trail. This link also connects across the meadow to Arthur’s Trail.
10 South Valley Trail Loop Foot, Horse, Mountain Bike Easy 2.4 milesThis easy 2.4 mile loop trail takes you to the south border of Lory State Park. This link offers an easy transition into Horsetooth Mountain Open Space.
11 Howard Trail Foot, Expert Mountain Bike Moderate to Difficult 2.4 miles and Expert EquestrianThis challenging 2.1 mile trail connects the upper mountain trails to Lory’s valley trails on the south end of the park. Howard Trail offers an alternative route of return from the Arthur’s Rock Trail and connects upper Timber Trail and Westridge Trail to create loop opportunities for all backcountry trail users.
