Trail Ride:  Staunton State Park

Near:  Pine, Conifer, not far off of Hwy 285

Website:http://cpw.state.co.us/placestogo/parks/Staunton

Notes:  Riding in the new Staunton State Park. We took the Staunton Ranch Trail to Bugling Elk to Lions Back. Once you get to the Elk Falls Overlook, you need to tie your horse and hike the last 250 feet to see the falls, which are a ways off, but very beautiful. Just over 10 miles round trip. It is not a loop. The footing is excellent for the most part and the trails are 2-3 horse wide. The horse trailer parking is just by the overflow parking. The flowers here were amazing and it seems to be a fairly lush area for our climate.
