Local Hikes
5 mile roundtrip, moderate hike.
Look to the west while in Fort Collins and you'll see a big rock that looks like a horses tooth. It's a great hike with nice views of horsetooth reservoir and the city of Fort Collins while hiking. There's a small scramble at the top that is worth the view. Bring a lunch or snack for the top!
There is a pavilion and bathrooms at the parking lot.

We've done this a few times and it was so much fun. You can rent a stand up paddle board and paddle in and out of some of the little inlet's. One of the inlets is part of Lory State Park. If it's a nice day you'll see a bunch of kids jumping off the high rocks into the water!
Bring sunscreen and a snack!
