A Castle Rock Classic
This 1.5 mile trail is a great example of the ecology and geography of the Castle Rock area. It offers much of the same experience as the nearby castlewood canyon with out the crowds. This trail is fun and there is beauty to be found here, however, I wouldn't drive more than 30 minutes to visit this trail. The trail climbs to the western rim of the...
Where Denver’s Cherry Creek Ran Wild
The headwaters of Cherry Creek lie in the low hill country about 35 miles south of Denver. The creek is an important source of water for the farms and ranches between Castlerock and Denver, and eventually flows into the Cherry Creek Reservoir on Denver’s east side.

My dollface and I so enjoyed last weeks short hike ~ Spring Is Here ~ that we couldn't wait until this weekend for another "conditioner". Unfortunately, I woke up a bit out of focus this morning and we almost stayed back. However, a little gumption and off we went. Surely glad we did. A beutiful day in Colorado.

Great little state park near Castle Rock. Wide variety of terrain in such a short hike. Canyon, fields, woods, and river valley with nice boulders to play on.

The trail is non-technical and of good construction. However, parts can be muddy and soft if there is recent precipitation. It is wide enough for two people to pass. There is very little shade. Most...
Easy hike in the Ridgeline Open Space park. This is one route of many
in a nice trail system above the housing sub-development to the north.
This route starts in the parking lot and climbs up gently and loops
around the eastern-most trail of the Ridgeline Open Space park. Great
view from the top of a good portion of the Front Range mountains and the
valley to the north....
