We were so excited to get to visit Colorado’s newest Troll creation from Thomas Dambo. Rita the Rock Planter is in the small mining town of Victor Colorado and is a fun, easy hike.

Rita is very easy to find, you can take the Little Grouse Mountain Trail and follow the bird houses. Park in the lower lot to get a 2 mile hike in. If you would like easier access you can drive up the hill, park at the top for a short, flat-ish walk to see Rita. Also the hike is dog friendly, Humphry hated his jacket but liked seeing Rita.

There is a lot of historical information and artifacts about Victor and it’s mining roots.

The kids loved exploring the the mining equipment.

Walking out to see Rita was amazing.

She is stunning.

A bonus of visiting Rita this winter is that she is only 10 minutes from Cripple Creek, where Colorado’s Ice Castles are this year!

Have you gotten to visit any of Thomas’ trolls? We love Isak Heartstone in Breckenridge and we can’t wait to visit Mama Mimi in Jackson Hole.
