So many incredible overlooks, gorgeous views and breathtaking moments. Yes yes yes to driving Hwy 160 from Salida to Pagosa!!
Absolutely incredible. One of the highlights of the trip. There's not enough time to spend here. Gorgeous and be sure to catch the sunset!
Closed off as of June 1 2016 at least to construction. Not sure if wet winter and spring made too much of the ground unstable (I went around the temporary construction fence for a peak and there is indeed some washout). Oh well, Manitou was a good stop anyways for some fudge and stretch my legs.
Went on a Wednesday morning in June and it was perfect. Beautiful park, great trails and friendly visitors center. Very worth it.
