Join Coralyn for a walk in beautiful Red Rock Canyon. In the 1800s, a quarry was established in Red Rock Canyon, the remains of which are still quite evident and rather interesting to hike through. The rocks are among the largest formations in the park, and the quarry work left behind enormous geometric cuts in the rock face. Most of the trail is wide, however the section by the quarry is single track and provides most of the elevation gain in this walk.

Name of walk/hike:  Red Rock Quarry Loop (Red Rock Canyon Trail, Quarry Pass Trail, Mesa Trail).

Walk/Hike leader’s phone number and email: Coralyn Gauvin, 719-339-1832, coralyng@yahoo.com

Meeting place: 

Red Rock Canyon High St East lot. From I-25 take Cimarron St exit West. Turn left onto Ridge Rd, and continue around the roundabout 2nd exit to W High St.  Go past the first big parking area and park in the second lot, 3550 W High St.
