 Quick city escape |
Grizzly Dr Denver, CO 80127 United States +1 303 271 5925 http://www.co.jefferson.co.us |
This diverse park, which includes over nine miles of hiking trails, can satisfy any outdoor fix without requiring a drive far out of the city. The area was once a favorite hunting ground of Ute and Arapahoe Indians. Even Jesse James was a frequent visitor in his later years. The trails are open for hiking, biking and horseback riding. Take C-470 south and exit at Wadsworth. Turn right on Wadsworth then turn right on Deer Creek Canyon road. The park is five minutes on your left. Review © 2007, Wcities |
