Parks & Nature
This is a gorgeous park that is walking distance from the house. This park has beautiful views of the mountains, biking and walking trails. You walk to the end of Hayden Court (away from 9th) turn left at Wade Rd., walk to the end of that street, and you'll find a short trail just past the last house on the right. Walk through there, over the train tracks and you'll be in Golden Ponds. When you pass the St. Vrain Creek you'll find a bicycle trail that can lead you across town.
