Fastest Known Times for (FKT's) for Arthurs Rock

  Arthurs Rock a prominent rock outcropping visible from Fort Collins. The route follows a well-built trail through small canyon, up some switchbacks, through a couple meadows, and then up a series of grueling switchbacks to the top of Arthurs Rock. This is a classic hill climb. To time trial this route, start at the sign-in register on the north side of the parking lot at the Arthurs Rock Trailhead. To be considered an official FKT, you must stay on the official Arthurs Rock Trail (no switchback cutting). Ascent time stops when you reach the highest point.  Return the same way back to the sign-in register. Time spent at the top does count if you are going for the round-trip time.
