Hike this 1224-acre open space buffer between Castle Rock and Franktown. Embark on this soft-surface trail from the trailhead at the old homestead at Parker Road. Follow the farm lane as it crosses over Cherry Creek and then winds up to the top of the mesa where it loops around viewpoints, rock outcroppings, grass and shrublands, as well as pines and junipers.
From Castle Rock take Highway 86 east toward Franktown. Turn left at Parker road and continue on for approximately 1 mile. Hidden Mesa Open Space will be on your left.
