What a wonderful hidden gem. The mountain top trails are nice and wide and clearly marked at each junction. There’s not much elevation gain so this is a great place to take the kids. Most of the mountain trail is through trees so you get some shade. The overlooks are fun and give you a nice view looking east. My three year old can’t make the full 5 mile hike and I was able to push her in a trail stroller just fine on these trails. I only had to carry the stroller in about 3 short spots over rocks. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 just because you have dodge horse poop and on regular basis, but not enough to keep me from coming back.

Great park! Biked up the service road on the west side which is steep and a good workout! Up top are fantastic and dramatic panoramic views(mostly to the southwest to east) from the cliffs of Spruce Mountain. The trail makes a loop up top. The descent down the northeast is fun flowy singletrack through the woods down eventually to the plains.

A highland open space on the Palmer Divide about five miles south of Larkspur, this often overlooked open space encompasses rocky buttes, rolling high prairie, scrub forest and pines. Its a great place to enjoy the Colorado foothills and feast ont the semiarid land turns from cacti and dry grass to sparse forest. Lots of wildlife, from bigger mammals such as deer to tiny critters like the endangered jumping mouse. Lots of birds of prey in the spring soaring overhead and the Rocky Mountain front range as back drop. Dogs area allowed, but no motorized vehicles. The trails are fairly easy, but long… there’s a standard 5.5 mile loop, and some that are much longer… and the high elevation — about 6800 feet, may leave some breathless. But its the views that will leave everyone gasping.
