Round Park is an easy out-and-back hike in Colorado's San Juan National Forest, within the Forest Service's Pagosa Ranger District. The trail stretches about 6.5 miles, starting at a low point of roughly 7,611 feet and rising to a high of about 8,082 feet, with an elevation gain of about 31 feet for the one-way trip. The route's natural surface makes it a simple walk, and bikes are allowed. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July averages from the nearby Vallecito Reservoir weather station run to a high of about 80°F and a low of about 53°F, while winter highs there drop into the upper 30s. The trail is open from about May 1 through November 30, and the nearest towns are the closest places to get supplies. Within a few miles are the Chris Mountain and Brockover hikes, Happy Camper RV Park for camping, and Devil Creek for paddling.
