The RIDES!
Devils Backbone
Located on the west side of Loveland the Devils Backbone is a MUST SEE while at Regionals. From the trailhead, a short 400-meter walk will take you to the Key Hole of this towering Rock formation (pictured). Although the snakes will likely still be out of site you will likely see Red-Tailed Hawks, Bald Eagles, and much more wildlife. Take a couple of friends with you near sunset and this is a stop that will become your social media background picture instantly. Only a 22-minute ride west from the host Harley dealership, this stop is also a great beginning to the floor boar-dragging turns of the Big Thompson Canyon and the gateway to Estes Park.
