  • Very very beautiful, omg the air was so fresh and the pines trees, OMG, so fresh smelling. This place have absolutely beautiful places to visit and every where you turn, there's a picture moment, so have your phone and Camera ready because you're going to be snapping every chance you get. So come to Colorado and experience a nice beautiful hike in the mountains
  • Great place for a nature hike/walk. Nature center was closed but the trails were great, lots of options for the hike as well.
  • My son had his birthday party here. What was told in the email was just a short over view and the actual party exceeded my expectations. The two women that happened out (I think our guide was Brenda) were so fantastic. We had kids from just under two all the way up to 11 and a handful of adults, too. We all had a great time. I highly recommend having your party or event here.
  • Love this little jewel - very comfy and workable hike for people of all ages, with a feeling that is slightly more foothills and quiet creek than mountains and rushing streams. The center itself is modest, but neatly laid out ànd a pleasant visit. Close enough to the mountains that can you have both experiences in a single day - enjoy.
  • The visitor center is a great learning environment for all ages. The trails are good for all abilities. It is our family's favorite place to get away while still being close by.
