We will hike initially up the Mesa Trail, then turn right onto the Meadowlark Trail. After a short distance, we will turn left onto the Contemplative Trail, then when we reach the intersection with the Round Up Trail and the Sand Canyon Trail, we will take the Sand Canyon Trail. After a bit, the Sand Canyon Trail splits into East and West sections, we will take the East route. This trail concludes at the Intemann Trail, which we will take a left turn, onward to the Red Rocks Canyon Overlook Trail. When we reach the (new) Gypsum Canyon Trail, we will take it, and then it becomes the Meadows Trail, until we reach the landfill road. Disdaining the road, we will instead go right, and shortly will veer left onto the Lion Trail. Heading down, we will then take the Red Rock Rim Trail to the Bock Trail, and then on down to the East Parking Area. Finally, we will go West, past the bike park, to where we started from, and congratulate ourselves for taking the long way around Red Rocks Open Space, a distance of, so I’m told, slightly more than 8 miles!
