Neat Backcountry Trail

After doing the Alcove Nature Trail, I hiked the Black Ridge Trail. This trail leaves the Colorado National Monument for a couple of miles and then comes back into the park. A lot of great views and neat things to see along the way. It is one of the longer hikes, so good endurance workout. For additional calorie burn, I also did the CCC Trail on the way back.
