About

Staunton State Park is a Colorado state park managed by Colorado Parks & Wildlife, about 4 miles from the town of Aspen Park. It makes a base for hiking, climbing and paddling, with trails and rock walls within a short distance of one another. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Grant show July highs around 75°F and lows near 43°F, while June and September run a little cooler with fewer wet days than the rainier stretch of July and August. Several trails sit within about a mile, including Bear Paw Trail (0.8 miles away) and Mason Creek Trail (1.1 miles). Climbers can head to Sawmill Wall, about 1.3 miles off, and paddlers will find Elk Creek roughly 3.7 miles away.
