Echo Lake Park, established in 1921 at the foot of Goliath Peak, contains an impressive Rustic style lodge designed by prominent Denver architect J.J.B. Benedict. 

Opened in 1924, the park straddles Mount Evans Road. 

Daniels Park provides panoramic views of the entire Front Range.  Originally a working ranch, several buildings representative of early 20th century rural architecture remain on the site. 

Bergen Park includes the starting point for Squaw Pass Road which provides access to the sub-alpine and alpine lands of Echo Lake, Summit Lake, and Mount Evans. 

This park district consists of three contiguous parks, acquired and developed between 1914-1938, which together form one large, diverse recreational facility, encompassing approximately 1,338 acres.  The parks encompass some of the most attractive, gently sloping areas along Bear Creek and a long mountain ridge that affords good views to the north, east, and west. 

This 475-acre park is located in Bear Creek Valley just west of downtown Evergreen.  It includes the most diverse range of developed uses and landscapes of the Denver Mountain Parks. 

The first parcel of land for Fillius Park came as a donation to Denver from cattle rancher Jules J. Clark in 1918, with additional land later obtained through condemnation. 

At less than half an acre, the park is the smallest within the Denver Mountain Park system.  Large Ponderosa pine trees and distinctive rock outcrops appear on the site, which was acquired in 1913. 

Beginning in 1913, a series of land acquisitions resulted in this approximately 2,400-acre park.  Genesee Mountain reaches an altitude of 8,200 feet, and numerous deep canyons, mountainous ridges, valleys, and gorges are among the natural features.  Completed in 1914, Genesee Mountain Road winds up to the Genesee Game Preserves located on the mountain’s western side.

Officially opened in 1913, Lariat Trail was the first of several scenic drives constructed as part of Denver’s mountain park system.  Beginning in Golden, where two 35-foot high stone pylons mark the entry, the drive connects with Floyd Hill Road at the top of Mount Vernon Canyon. 

The approximately sixty-five acre park includes the nearly level top of Lookout Mountain, offering panoramic views of the Colorado Plains, the Front Range mountains, and the Denver metropolitan area.  The famed William Frederick Cody (Buffalo Bill) is buried within the park boundaries. 

Little Park joined the Denver Mountain Park system in 1917.  The unusual eight-sided stone shelter house was designed by Denver architect Jules J.B. Benedict and built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.

The park was included in the Olmsted acquisition plan.  Jules J.B. Benedict designed the circa 1923 native stone and timber well house.  

This linear district runs for two miles along Colorado Highway 74 between the towns of Morrison and Idledale.  The route is noted for its enclosing granite cliffs and diverse vegetation. 

Although included by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. in his Mountain Park System Plan of 1914, the land was not acquired until 1935. 

Previously listed in the National Register of Historic Places on May 18, 1990 under Denver Mountain Parks, the historic district is nationally significant under the themes Developing the American Economy, in the area of governmental policies and practices, and Expressing Cultural Values in the areas of architecture and landscape architecture.  The architect and builders are outlined as Burnham Hoyt, Stanley Morse, the Civilian Conservation Corps, National Park Service, Works Progress Administration, and U. S. Department of the Army.
