Palmer Park

"Love this place just watch out for mountain lions. I have hiked here quite a few times and there are a few pretty cool *small caves and ancient rock formations to explore.. but about a month back I was hiking up by one of the caves and there was about 120 lb mountain lion that was standing on a rock staring at me and my friend. I can't sit here and say I'm shocked I mean it's Colorado but it's the first time I've ever encountered one and I do a lot of Hiking..We backed away slowly and I had bear spray *luckily* and especially now I just refuse to hike without it but thankfully in this situation I didn't have to use it. You don't really realize how big they are until you are right up on one 😬It didn't want anything to do with us and went on about its business but be aware that this is their territory 💯"

"This is a great place to hike! I love all the established trails. Lots of great views. This is also a perfect place to take a date! Just don’t try any monkey business cause the cops to patrol the place. But it’s still private enough to make out just keep it PG!"

"This is an amazing park, the long off leash trail is beautiful and so much fun for the dogs and me as well. It feels like a trip to the forest just 10 minutes from home. It’s so well maintained, the park rangers are great."
