The name of the trail I hiked is called Hadley Gulch and it is a 14 mile round-trip hike. It is a rocky canyon trail located 12 miles west of Glenwood Springs and the hike leads you deep and high into the forest and mountains. It was quite a fun excursion and I saw a lot of people on the trail. The trail is dog friendly (as well as horse friendly if you happen to have a horse). The trail goes through oak brush, pinion and juniper growth. It is also a good place to see some wildlife provided your there during the dusk or dawn hours. One thing I also noticed was that the trail also had a lot of rock climbers on it as well. This was probably because the canyon walls had good rock climbing spots. While I may not be a climber myself I can see that everyone was having fun and it made me want to try rock climbing one of these days (I would probably have to gain more upper arm strength though). All in all this was a very fun trip and if you happen to be in the are I would recommend you give it a looksy. I have included some photographs so you guys can see what the hike and the area looked like.
