Anyone living in the Front Range of Colorado can testify that Saturday was absolutely beautiful outside. We took advantage of the gorgeous weather and hit the hiking trails near Evergreen. Jefferson County has countless wonderful hiking, biking, and running trails and the Aldelfer/Three Sisters Park Open Space area has to rank among my favorites.

The great thing about the Three Sisters Open Space is that many of the trails are designed into loops. Consequently, you can loop out as far as you want. Then, when you coming back to the parking lot, you can loop back and not have to hike the same trail twice.

Once back towards the parking lot, there were several covered picnic tables. These are perfect for a picnic lunch. Since they are covered, they give a little relief from the strong afternoon sun – especially for people who have been out hiking or biking all morning.

I cannot commend Jefferson County enough on a job well done on their parks and open spaces. We usually gravitate towards Boulder County; however, Jefferson County is keeping up with them. Beautiful open space and a great hike!!
