Wander east and enjoy views of the Garden of the Gods and Red Rocks Canyon Park.

Admire the sights of the towering pines and at the next intersection, take a sharp right turn down the Mount Buckhorn Trail southwest. This path will deliver you back to the metal gate. Here, head east along the Gold Camp Road back to the trailhead.
