Great place to do a shorter bike or hike. Dakota ridge is definitely challenging on the bike though

One of our favorite hiking places. Old graves from pioneer days. Dogs love to run the fields

Beautiful county park that functions as a backdoor trail system into Red Rocks. All the views and then some with 98% less tourists. Highly recommended for day hikers or trail runners. About 3 miles will get you to the overlook that looks over Red Rocks Amphitheatre, trails are well marked and maintained. Definitely worth your time!

Nice trail with good views. Theres a small cemetery that is interesting.

A variety of hikes for different skill levels. We went on a sunday and it was fairly busy but very enjoyable. Great views of red rocks on morrison slide trail. Not much shade but dog/ kid friendly. Saw a few cyclists and they were all very considerate of the pedestrians.

Beautiful trail! Bring water and be prepared for a nice hike!

Great place for a trail walk and even to take your kids to splash in the creek. 3 picnic tables, but plenty of creek bank space. Camping Bathrooms are clean, no sinks though to wash your hands so bring some hand sanitizer and plenty of water! Lots of parking which is nice cause there can be alot of people walking the trails.

It was fantastic to get out of the city and have an easy walk. There are also picnic tables beside the stream, great for toddlers and kids to play in.

Great views. The difficulty level is mostly easy. Not very much shade or trees. Unfortunately approximately 80% covidiots/anti-maskers.

Awesome, easy access park with easy to moderate terrain with great views! Hikers, runners and bikers share the sometimes narrow, sometimes wide paths, usually everyone is courteous.I love the red rocks loop (~3 miles) after work (M-F) on my way home. Weekends can get pretty crowded. Trails are meticulously maintained. Im super impressed every week with the active and obvious maintenance of this park. Thank you JeffCo Open Space Parks!!

Gentle trail with plenty of options. Near Red Rocks so its beautiful scenery. Can be crowded on Fridays and weekends

Ok, love this park, its perfect. Just thought I would check and see if you are paying attention

Pretty park close to the city. Great place to check out.

Super cool hiking/biking spot! The trail is not very difficult, it is very relaxing and has great views. I love the giant red rock it was easy to get on to take some awesome pictures!

Great trail system that connects to the Red Rocks trail. I never knew this and Ive lived in Colorado my whole life! Try to go early or late to avoid front range crowds.

Had a nice sunny day a few weeks ago and decided to check this place out! It’s a moderate hike but not too long maybe around 3 miles round trip. My dog loved it although come in the spring or fall to avoid harsh summer temperatures. Parking lot was full so I parked on the side of the road leading into the park.

Good overall hike near red rocks. Also nice for snowshoeing in the winter.

Nice openpace park and hiking

I love this place. Great hiking trails, an old cemetary to check out, lots of different types of birds to see, a picnic area, and a nice creek to let my dog wade in. Go check it out!

Nice intermediate hike. Nice views of red rocks.

I might have loved this place if Id gone. If you are looking for a place like this and this looks like your cup of tea, take the plunge, you might be happy, who knows.

The ascent on Morrison Slide trail was easy to transition into. The views were spectacular. We started at 9am but would probably recommend getting an earlier start to avoid a larger crowd.

Great place to go for a hike if you dont want to drive hours out of town.

Ideal for mountain biking, ideal for long walks and recharge energy, I love the magic of these hills

Great afternoon run spot but the bathrooms were locked (covid I imagine) so was unable to poop.

Great hiking area, dog friendly and not a hard hike even for beginners, however watch out for bikers coming through the trails, Great view once you get to the top

Tons of great hikes in this area, very close to town easy to get to from just about anywhere. There are clean restrooms at the main trailhead, and all the trails are well marked and easy to follow. If you are looking for some amazing views of Red Rocks and a change to make a great loop I would recommend taking the Red Rocks trail and the Dakota Ridge trail to make one large loop. I would definitely recommend this area to new hikers. Lots of great views everywhere you look and most of the trails can be hikes all year long.

I like this Trail I like this whole area theres a lot of trails in the area Matthews Winter Park has a picnic area in a stream that is very gracious

Easy drive from just about everywhere in Colorado. Ample parking, trail guides available at the entrance. Public restrooms, picnic tables and a rolling creek to check out. Beautiful views, steep trails (at times) and separate trails for mountain bikers. Plus a graveyard with old tombstones to find. Overall, a great place for a day hike :-)

Beautiful place to relax and get a good run in.

Enjoyable, close to the metro area, nice little creek safe for little kids to be around since it was only an inch or two deep slow moving. Picnic tables pretty close to the parking lot

Desert terrain featuring huge red rocks. You can even hike into Red Rocks from the trail. This is a great place to go when its wet or cold in other parts of Colorado. There is not a lot of shade. One of my favorite places to trail run because of the gorgeous views and unique rock.

A co-worker and I did this trail on 9/7/2019. We started around 6am and had the trail to ourselves for quite awhile. Not a difficult trail, but very pleasant and good for all ages/experience levels. We didn’t run across any snakes while we were on the trail.Once the sun comes up, you are pretty exposed, so make sure to bring a hat/sunscreen.The trail got pretty busy after awhile...lots of folks walking their dogs and bikers. Everyone was very pleasant and friendly.

Beautiful park. Easy trail access and public restrooms. Nice parking lot but fills fast.

Trails for different skilled people, whether hiking or riding. Seems to be upkept often. Great views here. Easy access. Definitely recommend.

Such a cool place to walk around! Amazing views

Great place to visit and relax lots of history

Beautiful place to hike, close to downtown.

Great Quick ride after work or make it a longer stay connecting multiple trails

Beautiful place to hike , not too hard. Bikes, walkers, runners and dogs allowed.

Nice trails, easy access. Multi-use hike/run/bike. Beautiful scenery. Cool red rock outcroppings.

Super-crowded during the pandemic, but nice easy hiking.

It was pretty and we had a great hike! It leads you to the red rocks amphitheatre

A great parking with awesome hiking conveniently located a short drive out of Denver. Ample parking and the trails were pretty empty even on the weekend.

This place is amazing. We hiked the Red Rock Trail which is about 6 miles. Take a map and watch for rattle snakes. Although we did not see any, many people we passed warned us about rattlers seen on the trail. Such a beautiful hike. Fun place to visit if youre in the area

Heavy crowds. Easy terrain. Sweet view of red rocks

This hike convinced me to move from Denver form New York and I haven’t regretted it one bit. Breathtaking

Took a night drive from East Nebraska into Colorado. Ran into fog, got lost, pulled off for safety and rest. When the fog lifted... I was here but didnt know where. Wow...it is amazing.

A great place for hike easy hike.

Beautiful views from the top of the mountain!

This place is great for a family hike with a neat little stream at the trailhead for the littles to play in or to cool off after a hike. I did not like the lack of shade though..There were no trees for the first mile or so but all and all a gorgeous place to hike!!

This place is a gem! A lovely park for hiking, jogging or just taking a stroll in the foothills. Its wonderful for all ages, though some ground is a bit uneven in places and visitors should expect some moderate incline all around. Great trail for day hikes with options for more advanced trails further along the path. Love it

Great trail head with easy access from Denver.Bikes,dogs,even annoying children. All are welcome

Great place for a nice easy hike with good views

Beautiful hike and not too technically difficult - we trail run most of it. There are multiple paths so you can make it as long/short as you like! Beautifully views near Red Rocks.

Great for dogs and day hikes! Goes all the way into the red rocks if you want to. A few black diamond options as well. Went after fresh snowfall- a lot more work but well worth it for the views!!

Great place for a trail run! The only complaint I have is the name... I guess its just random chance, but did we have to have 2 names ending with an S?? I choose to think its just one guy named Matthew Winters but muggins says thats disrespectful to both of them. Oh well, great park.

Morrison Slide is a great walk to do after brunch on a sunny weekend day. Dogs, trail runners/walkers, and mountain bikers are all welcome!

The trails and terrain are awesome, the amount of people here was too much to enjoy the rest. The breathtaking views that I remembered here are being replaced by new developments; huge buildings and neighborhoods. So sad. I at least managed one shot back at red rocks with very little intervention before descending back to the parking lot.

Great park with awesome trails and little relaxing spots along the way that are great finds.

A good place for a weekday excursion after a long day at work to burn some calories and take in the scenery. Its a popular place for trail running too! There are branching off trails that lead up the hills, or you can follow the main path that interlinks with Red Rocks Park.-Chris and Katie

Great place to grab a quick workout w beautiful views.

Incredible hiking and biking trails just 20 minutes from downtown Denver!

Red Rock was long but worth it. Great excersise, fresh air, and breathtaking views

Open space with walking trails, picnic area, and bathroom. Great place to take a walk when you want a view of Red Rocks. Parking can be limited on the weekends.

Nice trail close to town. Can choose to take it easy or go on a harder hike. Nice places for kids to climb and play along the way.

Open space and trails. Its a nice place.

What a great hike!

Great views! Good hike for many different skill levels.

Good hike close to Denver. There are bathrooms near the trail head and a few tables to relax or enjoy a family meal. There is also a creek you cross at the trail head near some of the tables that are in the trees making this area shaded. The trail is mostly packed dirt. Most of it is open but some goes through patches of trees. Doing the full loop would take a few hours. Not too difficult. Good for a relaxing hike or trail running. Good amount of parking but seems to always fill up so you may need to park along the road.

Beautiful wild flowers nice trails to hike or bike

This is a nice trail with moderate use on the weekdays. Pretty nice views and a decent workout once you get a bit further up the trail. You can also hear Bandimere Speedway and Red Rocks further up the trail too. They also have bathrooms at the beginning of the trail which is nice and a nice size parking lot with some overflow parking up the road. I havent been here on a weekend, but imagine its pretty busy.

Wish I could have explored more. Great find!

This is the best family friendly trail close to town my son loves it!!!!

Very outstanding!I come here for my grandma’s birthday sometimes. Lots of open space and some good nature.One complaint is that sometimes people let their children ride unattended through the parking lot on a bicycle at dusk while cars are backing out. It is more a fault of the negligent parents than the park, but be careful when you come here.They have a hiking trail and some picnic tables to eat your food at. Very convenient.The other complaint is that sometimes you can smell the stinky truck’s brakes coming down from the mountains.

Beautiful red rock formations close to denver

Beautiful trails weaving in and out of redrocks. Its surprisingly not crowded for being so close to Denver. Feel free to not go here so I can continue to have the place to myself on week nights

Great park with close accessibility from Denver. Many trail routes to choose from. One of my favorite places to get a trail run in.

Great place to hike! Cute little area with a few tables to have lunch by a stream.

Needs more parking to accommodate the price fortunate enough to enjoy this unassuming trail system. The trails are awesome and offer something for every level of hiker/rider.

Excellent little spot to spend an evening. Not too crowded like several of the similar locations in the area. Perfect for a relaxed walk, bike, or hike.From the short time I spent here, it seemed to be very well maintained. Furthermore Ive heard from others who frequent the location that its the best place to hike in the winter.

Stumbled across this area by wrong GPS directions. Beautiful area I would love to live in this area not to many people. High mountianous area. Almost straight up and down mountain sides. saw lot of wild turkey.

Great casual trails if youre looking for something easy to access, with decent views, and a runnable trail. Ill be back. Looks like a super popular place for trail runners also.

Its an alright little trail. Quite busy.

Really nice, easy to find, beautiful spot .. Close to highway but no noise from it

Pleasant hike close to Golden and Denver. Good for all ages/skills and families, with a flat walk-in stretch of creek at the start. Pretty heavily used, including by bikers, but everyone generally understands the deal.

Awesome hike. Busy on the weekends. Lots of dogs, runners, and bikes. Good trail that I consider moderate difficulty. Great view on top of the hike where you can see green mountain and dinosaur ridge.

Love this place

Nice and convenient; a quick 40 minute trail run. Lollypop loop.

Quite popular with mountain bikers, some of whom dont have very good trail manners toward hikers. Many said nothing at all when coming up behind hikers. We had to stop and step aside so many times for them.Hike doesnt even get to 7,000 ft in elevation, so its easy. One can see Red Rocks Ampitheater in the near distance.

Great sunny , snowy hike with beautiful views .

Fun relaxing place to walkabout

There is a pretty big parking lot at the Village Walk/Ridge trailhead. the trail is great and scenic, good for hiking, some great offtrail opportunities with little caves. pretty cool. all good to bring dogs, kids or go trail running on the trail.best to stay to the left for running to go down the Redrocks trail at the Redrocks trail/ Morrison slide trail.

Absolutely love this place. The hikes arent necessarily too challenging. you just got to constantly be on the lookout for rattlesnakes. as I run into them fairly often.

One of my favorite spots

This is my favourite close to Denver hike. Its a 5 mile loop, moderately strenuous, with amazing views of Red Rocks and Denver. There are multiple lookout points that are great for photos! The first mile or so in and out is pretty flat. Great for kids who like to hike and climb, mountain biking and trail running!

I went there for a geology class. I didnt get to go much further than the stream but from what I saw I will definitely be coming back to explore the trails fully with my dog.

Great open space, numerous well maintained trails and gorgeous views

It was pretty

Beautiful park
