 Colorado
State Park - Roxborough

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.
