Description
After a large snowstorm, some of the best snowshoeing is often found close to home. In this case, a 20-minute drive from downtown Denver provides snowshoeing opportunities in Cherry Creek State Park in Aurora, CO.
The park offers 12 miles of trails (19 km), a mixture of heavily-trafficked trails and those off the beaten path. Snowshoers can trek on paved and unpaved trails through grasslands and marshes while admiring the vast array of cottonwood trees or wildlife.
Parking
