Parker Arts Lectures: Let’s Hike Douglas County (Our ½ 14ers)

Let’s Hike Douglas County (Our ½ 14ers)

Lecturer: Jackie Sanderson, Natural Resource Specialist Douglas County Division of Open Space and Natural Resources

You can enjoy beautiful scenery, rocks, peaks, wildlife, and solitude without having to fight the I-70 traffic.  Douglas County has protected almost 17,000 acres of fabulous properties that connect to thousands of others that will never be developed. With ten trailheads and over 90 miles of trails just on open space lands, you can seek out a variety of opportunities to explore with your friends.  Or try our park lands or National Forests for hundreds of miles more for hiking.  Find out where to take the back roads and embark on some day hikes that will entice you to discover more (maybe on mountain bikes or horseback!)  View scenic photos and trail maps that will lead you to your next outdoor adventure not far from home, but in the natural world that we love.
