We'll hike a slower, relaxed pace and often pause briefly for beauty! Our aim? Enjoy and appreciate this beautiful red rocks park!! No real steeps here but some gentle UPS (We go SLOW on those. Who needs to breathe hard? We still get exercise!!). Come see this gorgeous place with us, a small group!
We'll meet at 9 am, park on east side lot in front of Waterton Tavern (4571 Roxborough Drive, Littleton 80125), off Waterton Canyon Road and Roxborough Drive (about 5 min from Rox!).
YOU NEED A STATE PARK PASS for your car or all pitch in to pay the $10, please. (Google for two ways to get to Waterton Tavern parking lot. One way via Wadsworth, the other off Santa Fe and Titan Road.). If you're interested and want to get further acquainted, we can lunch at Waterton Tavern after our hike!
