Description

I drove to Lowry State Park to do a quick evening hike to the top of Arthurs Rock.  The summit is named after Arthur Howard who owned the land with his brother Charlie before it became a state park in 1967.  This short but relatively steep hike has a very well-maintained trail all the way to the summit.  From the top there are good views of Horsetooth Reservoir.
