After checking out the Benson Sculpture Garden, we returned to Devil's Backbone and immediately found a parking spot. We hit the trail,
passing lots of people. This place is very popular. The trail is a loop and we took the eastern half first. There were nice views over to the backbone and out to the distant mountains.
At about the half-way point on the trail, it starts to turn back to the south and heads closer to the backbone. There was a short ascent up to a natural arch known as the "Keyhole".
From certain angles, you can see Long's Peak and Mount Meeker through the Keyhole. We enjoyed the view for a few minutes and then moved on to allow other visitors a chance to enjoy the view. The hike back stayed closer to the backbone and was a little bit more interesting than the hike into the arch.
