Colorado
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!
