Chatauqua Park is a very beautiful park with multiple trails to choose from. Walking poles will be helpful but we were fine without them. We did the enchanted mesa, mesa trail and bluebell.

very cool and peaceful place. did not really hike the place because i did not have the equipment for it. went to LOST GULCH outlook. absolutely incredible view!!!
