Great for beginners, great view with mule deer running around, can get pretty cold after sun goes down so have a sweater ready!
Saved my life. When I was accustomed to 75 degrees at near-sea level, I decided to go for a run in the 34 degree cold. This lot was at the halfway point, and there is a heated restroom which was basically an oasis in the middle of the cold. Made my trip!
There are 2 parking lots. We got there early at 7 and both were empty. By 8:15 one was almost half full and the other had 3 cars in it.
Great quick day hike. There is mountain lion activity to be aware of. Lots of lion scat on the Columbine and Cathy Johnson trails. Also came across a large mammal's tibia/fibula on the trail that looked relatively fresh. Hikers and bikers beware.
Beautiful hiking and biking just a short drive from the city.
