Join Ed Robb and Stephanie Lenkey for an easy to moderate walk at Dakota Ridge/Dinosaur Park. We’ll walk about 2-3 miles, with 240' elevation, on a paved road from the gate, viewing dinosaur tracks and other geologic features along the way, to the gate on the Red Rocks side of the hill, then return. The road is restricted to the occasional shuttle from the Dinosaur Ridge Learning Center, bikes, and walkers. There are great views of the valley and toward Red Rocks.
As always, Live By Living day hikes are open to all cancer survivors and their caregivers. Regardless of whether you are currently in or out of treatment, we'd love to have you join us. If you're uncertain whether you are physically up for a hike, please call us at 303-808-2339, and we can help you decide.
