Hiker standing in front of a rock formation

About

Larimer County open space just west of Loveland off Highway 34, with trails along the Devil's Backbone rock formation and its keyhole.

Devil's Backbone Open Space is a 3,007-acre Larimer County open space west of Loveland, named for its long spine of upturned rock.

What to do

  • Hike to the keyhole in the Devil's Backbone
  • Ride horses or mountain bikes on trails that connect to Rimrock and Horsetooth Mountain open spaces
  • Look for red-tailed hawks and spring wildflowers

Why we picked them

  • More than 17 miles of trail, with water, restrooms and picnic tables at the trailhead
  • Leashed dogs are welcome; a Larimer County day pass is required
  • Parking fills on weekends, so come before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m.
