Elk Park Trailhead — Attraction in Woodland Park

Absolutely amazing tour.an absolute must-see where they live in Colorado or not. If you're scared of heights it's definitely a clincher!! It's quite pricey at $45 a a vehicle,! Which case they have a gift shop at the very top of the mountain 😁, it closes at 6 p.m. the park closes at 7 p.m.so in order to enjoy your trip there I recommend that you alot several hours before 6 p.m. to enjoy the trip. The park ranger does exhort you down the mountain .Starting at or about 6:15 6:30 after the gift shop closes and all patrons are leaving!. The trip is relatively dangerous because of the steeptrain going down the mountain so make sure your vehicle to safe when you have gas going up because there is danger of your brakes overheating and you lose control! they do have a safety check at about the middle of the mountain to check the temperature of your brakes! Otherwise beautiful scenery great for pictures great lookout point's several off the road spots that you can veer off of and take a scenic route overview we didn't get the opportunity because we came too late but I would recommend it and I will be be back so have fun enjoy take lots of pictures with family ♥️😊 be safe...
