Description
Flowing Park Trail is a relatively flat hike on the Grand Mesa. The first and last sections are on an old jeep trail that is now closed, but most of this hike is on singletrack. There are quite a few places you'll want to stop just to enjoy the view! While this trail is mostly flat, remember it is at around 10,000' elevation with no water available on the trail so be sure to carry enough water and come prepared.
