Always something fascinating to see on Dinosaur Ridge! FYI all #companionanimals must be kept under control on leash or lead as these four lovely llamas heading for a hike on the hogback are demonstrating. #JeffcoOpenSpace #noDramaLlamas #TakeAHike

An inspiring hike. The perfect place for a quick hike. Deer Creek Canyon Park is a little bit off the beaten path, but only about 40 minutes from downtown Denver. #DeerCreekCanyon #ColoradoHikes #JeffCoOpenSpace Music: “The Swan” by Yael Kareth from Artlist.io

Hiking in the woods. The trail that winds around Plymouth Mountain was relaxing and secluded and occasionally rewarded with amazing views. #DeerCreekCanyon #ColoradoHikes #JeffCoOpenSpace Music: “The Swan” by Yael Kareth from Artlist.io

“Going to the mountains is going home…” -John Muir After turning onto Plymouth Mountain Trail, the hike becomes an enchanting stroll along a quiet and shady path, deep in a pine forest. #DeerCreekCanyon #JeffCoOpenSpace #Hiking

Happy Independence Day! The steepness of the terrain causes numerous cascades as the joyous little creek tumbles alongside a part of the Plymouth Creek Trail. #DeerCreekCanyon #Creek #JeffCoOpenSpace Music: “The Swan” by Yael Kareth from Artlist.io

Deer Creek Canyon. After ascending through open grasslands and thickets of Gambel oak, the Plymouth Creek Trail runs alongside its namesake creek, flowing through a shaded canyon. #DeerCreekCanyon #ColoradoHikes #JeffCoOpenSpace

Wildflowers gone wild. Along the Front Range Foothills, drought-tolerant plants such as these penstemons are proliferating during a prolonged period of abundant precipitation. #DeerCreekCanyon #ColoradoHikes #JeffCoOpenSpace “Rising Tide” by C.K. Martin

“May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the joy and beauty of each day.” -Native American Proverb Just a few examples of the wildflowers in Deer Creek Canyon Park. Golden Banner, Chiming Bells, Penstemon, and raspberry. #Wildflowers #JeffCoOpenSpace #Hiking

My hike up to Plymouth Mountain begins in a grassy meadow full of wildflowers at the Deer Creek Canyon Park Trailhead before going through stands of scrub oak and reaching a first overlook. #DeerCreekCanyon #ColoradoHikes #JeffCoOpenSpace

Deer Creek Canyon Park is a hidden haven. Colorado’s wetter-than-usual spring has turned this Front Range Foothills hiking/mountain biking area into a lush and enchanting oasis. #DeerCreekCanyon #ColoradoHikes #JeffCoOpenSpace

Overnight temperatures have warmed up, signaling our scaley friends to search for food and bask in the sunshine. Many of our staff members have done #rattlesnake safety training with experts at #JeffcoOpenSpace to keep humans and snakes safely separated. 🐍

Thanks to the excellent work of local firefighters we have the go-ahead from #JeffcoOpenSpace to resume tours today, Sunday, April 2nd. Please come on out- the weather is going to be gorgeous!

The “Know Before You Go” rule is the most basic and fundamental that any visitor to any park, not just #JeffcoOpenSpace parks, but to all parks along the #FrontRange and into the #ColoradoHighCountry, must follow. Read more about it at tinyurl.com/mryabf4u

A portion of the Welch Ditch Trail goes through an original wooden flume that was recently restored and opened for hiking. #VisitGoldenCO #ClearCreekCanyon #JeffcoOpenSpace

The Welch Ditch Trail is an easy 2.5 mile out-and-back hike that follows the path of a historic canal, constructed in 1871 along the walls of Clear Creek Canyon.  #VisitGoldenCO #ClearCreekCanyon #JeffcoOpenSpace

#LoveThemLeashThem on #JeffcoOpenSpace trails for multiple reasons. One is to prevent conflict between dogs. If you’re in the wrong, don’t double down with name-calling. Unpleasantness at Lair O’ the Bear. Sigh. Didn’t ruin my morning though.

I work on Saturdays, these days, but my experience participating in trail maintenance was a fun and rewarding way to volunteer for #JeffCoOpenSpace. It’s definitely worth the effort, if you have the time!

Truly love the work of #JeffcoOpenSpace, but tsk tsk on this decision (#GiddyUp). Great volunteer organization that partnered in time of need, and a solid, professional, charitable event for Golden.
