There are three trailheads that service the Stratton Open Space: 1) La Veta Way off Cresta Rd; 2) Ridgeway off W. Cheyenne Blvd. and 3) trailhead on north side of road about .3 miles up the road from the main park gate by the Starsmore Discovery Center. <br />
Most of the trails within the Stratton Open Space are easy to moderate in difficulty and offer "loops" that allow users to enjoy the Open Space. Keep in mind that all trails designated as "paths" are for hiking only; equestrians and cyclists may use all of the other loops.
From I-25, exit at Hwy 24 West. Go about a mile and turn left onto 21st Street. Go about 3 miles on 21st to W Cheyenne Blvd. Turn right. Go about half a mile and turn right onto Ridgeway Ave. Stratton Open Space and parking lot is on the right.
