State Park - Roxborough
Back to Main
Area
Map |
More than 1.2 billion years of geologic time are
represented by the spectacular red-rock formations found within
Roxborough State Park, located southwest of Denver. Ecologically,
the park is highly diverse as a result of its location in a transition
zone between the plains and the mountains. The area's geological
structure has resulted in microclimates that have produced seven
distinct plant communities in a unique mixture of prairie and mountain
species. As a result, Roxborough is home to abundant wildlife, including
black bears, mountain lions and elk.
The park is known for its spectacular sightseeing, tranquil surroundings,
fascinating trails and Visitor Center. This park offers hiking,
cross-country skiing and excellent educational programs on Colorado
history, geology and wildlife watching. Roxborough is a day-use
park only and does not offer camping. Pets are not allowed at Roxborough.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check with us for many guided hikes,seminars, and educational opportunities.
Please remember...no dogs are allowed in the park and we have no
biking trails. We are a beautiful day use hiking park. Make Roxborough
your choice for a hike!
