Description
Easy West Denver Hiking at it best! Have your choice: a historical tour that overlooks Red Rocks Park or a fir forest with scenic viewing through open meadows. You have the choice of two great hikes. Both of these hikes are around 4.5 miles with 300’-700’ of gain. One traces its history back to the roots of open space in Western Denver and the ‘summer home of the US presidents’, with distant views of Red Rocks Park 2000’ below. The first hike goes through fir forests and open meadows to 2 or 3 lookout points. The second hike winds through a desert sage and juniper landscape, as it ascends to a lookout location on the backside of Red Rocks Park. Both of these hikes are a good introduction to the amazing terrain, hogback formations, and foothill areas west of Denver.
