Doctor Park is a 13.3-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near the town of Colorado, managed by the Routt National Forest's Hahns Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District. This moderate to strenuous route offers hikers an opportunity to explore the northern Colorado landscape within the national forest system. The trail follows an out-and-back format, meaning hikers will retrace their steps on the return journey. This structure allows visitors to turn back at any point if desired, making it adaptable for various fitness levels. The full 13.3-mile distance represents the complete round trip. The Routt National Forest in this region features diverse terrain typical of Colorado's Rocky Mountain foothills. Doctor Park provides access to quieter backcountry areas away from more heavily trafficked routes. The trail is maintained by the Hahns Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District, which oversees recreation management for this section of the national forest. Hikers planning a visit should contact the managing ranger district for current trail conditions and any seasonal closures. The trail is best suited for those with solid hiking experience given its length.
