With a couple of Dino enthusiasts, we were impressed with the tour. Learned things we hadn’t heard before. Great guided tour by Cheyenne who was friendly, knowledgeable and patient with our large family group. Try to go during the week. We were there on a Saturday and found out that the paleo lab is only in operation on weekdays. Use AAA or senior discount if it applies to you.

Red Rocks Group Campground

Reviewed By FrontierJ - Manitou Springs, United States

We often hike or ride our horses here. The wildlife is amazing. There are deer, bear, squirrels, weasels,elk and any number of other animals including a few people on horseback often. It is a lovely spot and as long as everybody picks up their trash, it will stay beautiful. The Group Campground requires reservations, but is used so little during the Summer an that seems really sad since it is a really nice spot for family reunions. There is good parking for just taking a great little hike thru the formations with a lot less people than Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.
