I forgot to add...

You will be faced with a fork in the trail at the very beginning of the hike. If you go straight/left, then you will have a very steep, uphill 0.75-mile hike and you will end up at the summit of the bluffs (and a very scenic view of the Front Range). From there, there are two overlooks that are about a mile round-trip each. You really only need to do one of the outlooks. Then it's mostly downhill (until the end) as you kind of meander through a valley and have scenic views of cookie-cutter houses. I would recommend going right at the fork, so you get the boring bit out of the way, and then you get rewarded with the scenic views at the end of the hike. But, really, you can't go wrong either way.
