We continue our march around Colorado’s state parks with that sandstone and sylvan gem wedged between the city and the foothills: Roxborough. The monumental stones of Red Rocks march southward, appearing again in festive forms in Roxborough State Park. Between them, homesteaders tried to make the land over into agricultural space. On our jaunty hike we’ll hear of the history, plants and wee beasties as we head to some of the buildings and other signs of the homesteading past. We won’t be able to see it all, but it will be a worthy introduction to the park. Let’s step into the sunshine and rock Roxborough! Provide your own transportation to the starting point and pack a picnic lunch.
History Colorado’s Tours & Treks has been offering a grand assortment of travels to enrich your understanding of our state’s history and beyond. Walk in the footsteps of those who came before and learn the stories behind the sights. In 2024, we are returning to our roots with the ever-popular Organ Crawl, as well as an international trek and a pair of train adventures! We'll see how the past has informed the present, ponder how art helps us understand our history, and so much more on a series of trips specially designed to inspire wonder!
