At the beginning and end of each season, my husband and I will drive down to the southwest corner of Denver to the Ken Caryl neighborhood. This is the same valley where the famous Red Rocks music venue is. The area is extremely beautiful and like taking a mini vacation to Utah without the several hour drive. The red rock formations are particularly nice right now against the lush (for Colorado : )) grass.
We like the Coyote Song trail in the South Valley Park. It's a great little park with beautiful views and a trail that meanders through beautiful red rock formations. Since it is a multi-use trail, I will take the dogs hiking while my husband takes the mountain bike for a spin. We can always find each other because the trail is wide open. The openness of the trail also helps him feel comfortable bombing a hill because he can see if there will be anyone in his path. OR you can see if anyone will be there to see you catch air on some of the bumps. We like to start at the south entrance, ride up the 300 ft elevation gain and then enjoy the downhill back. I highly recommend this trail for an after work adventure and an easy beginner biking trail. On the weekend, it can get very packed and hard to navigate with dogs or a bike.
