Eldorado Canyon has several trails for hikers, joggers, bird watchers, photographers, mountain bikers, and equestrians. All offer spectacular views of the canyon. The Fowler Trail is wheelchair and stroller accessible and features a self-guided nature walk. Cross-country skiers and snowshoers often travel the Fowler and Rattle Snake Gulch Trails in the winter. The Rattle Snake Gulch Trail accommodates skilled mountain bikers. At the top of the trail are ruins of the Crags Hotel and an overlook of the Continental Divide. The Eldorado Canyon Trail accommodates horseback riders - it is a very steep trail however. The Eldorado Canyon Trail connects to the Walker Ranch Loop for an extended hike.
