Dramatic red sandstone spires. Stunning views of craggy outcroppings. Pleasant trails suited to beginning mountain bikers and hikers who prefer more level terrain.<br />
A diversity of trails offer quiet refuge from the tempo of the neighboring suburbs and criss-cross the eastern half of South Valley Park. The Swallow Trail is hiker-only.
From the metro area, travel west on C-470 and exit southbound on Ken Caryl Avenue. Turn left onto South Valley Road to the park's north parking area. Alternately, from South Platte Canyon Road (S. Wadsworth and C-470) take Deer Creek Canyon Road west to the smaller, south parking area.
