  This path is an absolute top recommendation for people who otherwise have little to the hat with nature and hiking.

The 2-3 minutes detour to the Morefield campground he is worth but in any case: it has here almost from the outset continuously an overwhelming view on the landscape North of the Mesa Verde NP and the lone cone at the park entrance, while the path below the High plateau with a good-looking landscape winds its way. The prospects have fallen here even better us as at the official and much more frequented lookout points.
