Best places: Hiking areas in Garfield County, United States

👍👍 We visited nearly all of the places to drive to and did many of the hikes. The Sunrise Trail was more difficult but one of our favorites. It had lots of people on it but lots of places to stop and take pictures but it has a lot of elevation change. The visitors center was very nice and the video sho...

Rustic cabins with alpine lake access, boat rentals, fishing, hiking & kayaking.

Popular creekside trail in White River National Forest open for hiking & horseback riding.

Basic lodging offering casual rooms & cabins, plus an outdoor pool, a restaurant & a gift shop.

👍 Really enjoyed this trail. Started out with an uphill climb, leveled out into a nice walk with lots of wild flowers and good views and ended with more uphill climbing and a scramble to the Arch that occasionally required two hands. I would definitely do this trail again. Google maps did not give...
