Hey folks , welcome to the Natural Manic Adventures . It's been a minute , but I moved to Wyoming , at least temporarily , to work , and here I am today in Kurt Gowdy State Park . I'm going to take a hike on one of the trails here . It's going to be a hike to Hidden Falls , which is on the side of one of the reservoirs here in Kurt Gowdy State Park . If you don't know , kurt Gowdy State Park is located between Laramie and Cheyenne in Southeastern Wyoming , not too far from Denver , about two hours north of Denver , about an hour north of Fort Collins , colorado , and it's a nice little recreational paradise , pretty good size state park with a lot of trails . This is what I'm going to check out today . Why don't you come with me and check it out ? We do cross the creek several times on the trail and you can see the type of terrain you're going over , but it's getting more lush as it's closer to the creek . Here let's keep going .

So , yes , I finally made it down here to Hidden Falls . You can probably hear it in the background . I hope you can hear me , okay . And there it is . It looks like it's coming out of a hole in the rock . Right there it's pouring down . The water is very cold . I have not walked in it , but it's pretty nice little waterfall . It's definitely worth the trip back here . The waterfall actually is behind me , there's the stream coming from the waterfall and there's lots of places to sit down and have a bite to eat , drink some water . Now I think it's time to head back . Okay , so I made it back to the truck and the nice hike . It took about two hours 45 minutes to do just under five miles , and came out right down there where the Hidden Falls sign is .
