Hiking - Curt Gowdy
About:
Curt Gowdy State Park has over 35 miles of trails for just about any lung powered activity you can think of. The trails are very well designed and suitable for any skill level. El Alto and Slabz! Trails provide some incredible views and don’t miss the waterfall at the west end of Crow Creek Trail. Curt Gowdy Kate’s Trail is a 1 mile concrete trail starting and finishing at the Visitor Center. This trail gives folks with disabilities an opportunity to view natural areas of the park. The trails range in elevation from 6800 to 7600. During certain times of the year, local organizations hold nature walks for viewing birds and wildflowers.
