Special Events - All Ages

What better way to start the New Year than to get outdoors? Meet our volunteer naturalist, Ranger Rick, for an out-and-back hike on Talon Trail. The hike will ascend 539 feet over 2.5 miles, completing five miles roundtrip. We will discuss features of the three ecosystems that we will traverse during the hike. Make sure to dress warmly, wear sturdy shoes, and bring a snack and water. Traction cleats are recommended if there is ice and snow on the trail. We will be stopping for a break midway through the hike. This program is weather and trail conditions permitting and is limited to 20 slots. The hike is free, but a valid park pass is required on every vehicle in the park. ($10 per vehicle/per day) You will meet at the Limekiln Trailhead parking lot. Hike begins at 10am - come a little early. Look for signs directing you to "Adventure Hike" and "Ranger Rick."

Rick P - ALL Cheyenne Mountain State Park Volunteers

I am a USAF retiree, but still working full-time. At the park, I’m a volunteer Interpretive Ranger (Naturalist), Trail Ambassador, and Lead Mountain Bike Instructor at Cheyenne Mountain State Park. Leading hikes in my favorite volunteer activity. Because I still have a regular job, I don’t get to work at the park as much as I’d like to. My regular job pays the bills, but working at the park brings me peace. I love it.
