An unforgettable drive to the top of the park. Sunrise or sunset are particularly beautiful and you'll dodge the crowds. Plan sometime to linger at the view points. Bring warm clothes anytime of year.

Hidden Valley
Mountain bike riding. My preferred route is riding from town up the Apple Valley Road to trailhead. For a much more technical ride park of the South St Vrain canyon entrance at bitterbrush parking area and ride from there. The loop at the top offers excellent views of Longs.
