Everything Else

Evergreen is a short 20 minute drive on hwy 73. There is a beautiful walk around the lake and you can follow walkway under bridge over to downtown. Paddle board rentals. Skating at the lake in the winter. Main Street is fun to walk. Little Bear is a historic saloon. Lots of good restaurants. A finish off loop would be to go down the canyon (hwy 74) to Morrison, loop around Red Rocks and then pick your route home.

Add this stop on your scenic drive along the Platte River. Take Hwy 285 to Foxton Road. Head south to the Platte River. On Foxton Road is a Jeffco Open Space park called Reynolds Park. Stop for a hike. Continue down to the Platte. Take a right turn. Follow the river to Hwy 126. Turn right back up to Hwy 285. Greens is a 2 story rock building at the corner of Platte River road and 126. Stop for ice cream and to check it out. Once you turn on 126 you will see the Swan Hereford Ranch and go though the town of Pine. Zokas is a good lunch stop. Pine Valley Open Space is a beautiful park along the Platte. It’s entrance is just past the town of Pine.
