State Park - Roxborough
Back to State Parks
More than 1.2 billion years of geologic time
are represented by the spectacular red-rock formations found
within Roxborough State Park, located southwest of Denver.
Ecologically, the park is highly diverse as a result of its
location in a transition zone between the plains and the mountains.
The area's geological structure has resulted in microclimates
that have produced seven distinct plant communities in a unique
mixture of prairie and mountain species. As a result, Roxborough
is home to abundant wildlife, including black bears, mountain
lions and elk.
The park is known for its spectacular sightseeing, tranquil
surroundings, fascinating trails and Visitor Center. This
park offers hiking, cross-country skiing and excellent educational
programs on Colorado history, geology and wildlife watching.
Roxborough is a day-use park only and does not offer camping.
Pets are not allowed at Roxborough.

Check with us for many guided hikes,seminars, and educational

the park and we have no biking trails. We are a beautiful day
use hiking park. Make Roxborough your choice for a hike!
