Recreation
The biggest draw to Eldorado Canyon State Park is rock climbing. Eldorado Canyon offers over 500 technical rock climbing routes luring climbers from around the world to challenge their skills on “Eldo’s” sheer, golden cliffs. The beauty of this canyon also engages the non-climber. Hike or mountain bike some of 11 miles (18 km) of picturesque trails that vary from easy to difficult and reach out to adjoining public lands outside the park. Enjoy a picnic by or fish in scenic South Boulder Creek. In the winter, Eldorado offers hiking and limited cross-country skiing and snowshoeing (depending on snow conditions).

Famous quotes containing the word recreation:
“Playing snooker gives you firm hands and helps to build up character. It is the ideal recreation for dedicated nuns.”
—Archbishop Luigi Barito (b. 1922)
“Media mystifications should not obfuscate a simple, perceivable fact; Black teenage girls do not create poverty by having babies. Quite the contrary, they have babies at such a young age precisely because they are poor—because they do not have the opportunity to acquire an education, because meaningful, well-paying jobs and creative forms of recreation are not accessible to them ... because safe, effective forms of contraception are not available to them.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
