Holy buckets batman ! I did the 10.8 mile round trip to elk falls overlook. It is almost an incline the whole way there. Beautiful park, with a trout pond 3/4 th of the way to the end of the trail. You can fish in it if your a fisherman. I caught a glimpse of a snow capped peak in August. Just a great park with a waterfall view at the end of the trail. If you are a flat lander you better be in good shape. If you wanna try to see the falls.

This is a new CO state park, so they are still working on creating their trail system. It is a beautiful park, maintained by an amazing staff and group of volunteers. The first 1.3 miles is easy, and after that you do have choices. Old Mill trail is .9 miles of steady climbing. Borderline is a pretty moderate trail that is worthwhile on so many levels, especially as it takes you by the Staunton Overlook which is breathtaking. I've also done Scout Line which also has amazing views and will get you breathing hard. I have two issues with this park. To get to some of the more interesting/strenuous trails you have to hike 1.3 miles out over pretty but very easy terrain and to get to the western most part of the park where the falls are and where I have never been, you need to have 4-5 hours plus to reach it. The Falls is an 11 mile hike and while I'm a pretty strong hiker, I don't always have that kind of time. The Park Manager is aware of this and is working on trying to make the more remote parts of the park more accessible. But the solution may be a while out. It is a new park, so I think we have to give them the time to evolve. In summary, it is a beautiful park, very worth visiting. I am a repeat customer.

Every state park I've been to offers great views and a relaxing experience, so I hoped for something more from the newest one. The trail is well marked and safe, but we didn't think this was nearly as cool as others in region including Aldefer Three Sistes or even Meyer Ranch. There are some fishing options here and I would expect it to be stocked again in the spring. One highlight was the large number of elk bones and skulls along the trail. Please leave them.

Had read about this new park last year and put it on my "want to go there" list. Went early in the morning, about an hours drive from my home. Trails are well marked. Tried the Staunton Trail (wildflowers, moderate) to Old Mill Trail (quite the incline, shaded, along a creek). The Old Mill itself was collapsed but interesting. Then went to the scenic overlook, beautiful view! The granite outcroppings are impressive, too. Well worth it.

I went to Staunton State Park on Memorial Day. It was busy and there were long lines. However, the staff kept us informed, asked for our patience, and everything was fine. After parking, the staff also helped with information and directions -- and there were some great volunteers along the way as well. It's a great park and a new place to get away from the crowds. I thought of my family who have served our country so that we could visit such a place on this holiday. I really appreciated the staff and volunteers making this a pleasant and heart warming experience for myself, my family and out-of-town guests. Kudos to Staunton on a very busy holiday weekend!

When you are in the Conifer/Pine area, this state park is a must see. It's beautiful, with excellent (although not easy) hiking trails. The hike to the waterfall overlook is 11 miles round trip; worth the effort, but if you're not in good shape, its a long haul. There is a great rock climbing area, although again, a bit of a walk. You can hike to nl old saw mill as well. Great views, history and hiking trails.

Just 40 minutes west of Denver, Staunton State Park opened to the public in May 2013. Colorado's 42nd state park has a little bit of everything to offer those who visit.Simply head south from Denver on four lane US 285 and within minutes you will be in a mountain wonderland. Ranging in elevation from 8000-10,000' in elevation, the park's main feature is 20 plus miles of hiking, mountain biking and equestrian trails. The park features a beautiful viewing point for Elk Falls as it flows past Lions Head and Chimney Rock formations. Technical rock climbers will love the designated climbing area featuring over 60 routes ranging from beginner to extreme. In addition,the park features ponds and small streams for anglers. A reminder that the visit will cost $7 per vehicle and one should arrive close to opening time on weekends, to beat the crowds and summer monsoon rains.

We feel so fortunate to live only a few miles from this wonderful state park. The views are terrific and the paths are well marked and maintained. My husband, who is handicapped, is able to ride his little scooter around the Davis Ponds trail, which is a little over a mile. It's very serene and lovely on a weekday evening.

We hike a lot around the country this park had to be one of the best if not the best we have hiked over the years. There is a LONG hike to Elk Falls waterfall . The trails are well groomed and both easy and difficult. The elevation is between 8-10,000. I would suggest to take a lot of water and snacks to stay hydrated. Love love loved the hike. I have a fitbit stepper bracelet and it clocked over 30,000 steps. For us it was a 5 hour hike from start to finish. We are seasoned hikers but this one def kicked our butts! But we loved the work out!

Park opened in May 2013. The park is very easy to navigate, Facilities are clean and easy to locate. Nice outcropping for climbing. We hiked Staunton ranch trail(3.3 miles) which I feel is a pretty easy hike with some elevation gain and great views. After a few miles we hopped on scout line trail(1.5 miles) which is a more technical trail. Lots of rocks and switchbacks the first half of the trail but well worth the climb. We didnt make it to Elk Falls due to the weather, one piece of advice is please bring lots of water and a rain jacket. When we first got there it was 80 and sunny but 2hrs later a storm rolled in and dropped some heavy rain and lighting. Luckily we had our rain gear so the trip back to the car wasnt horrible.
