Jefferson County Open Space<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

North Table Mountain<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0This popular biking spot is one place where an electric wheelchair user might find it easier than a hiker.\u00a0 The flush toilets are ADA compliant, but the first .8 mile of trail is very steep.\u00a0 You might get away from the traffic noise once on top, but neither the signs nor brochure give you an idea of where best to go.\u00a0 ProTrails<\/a> gives details of trail length and this Walk With Fred<\/a> video is excellent.<\/p>\n

\"Wheelchair<\/a>
0.6 mile wheelchair accessible Pine Lake Trail at Pine Valley Ranch, Jefferson County Open Space CO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pine Valley Ranch Park<\/a><\/p>\n

\"WheelchairPine Valley Ranch is highly accessible with fishing docks, a 0.6 mile wheelchair accessible trail around pretty Pine Lake and picnic shelters. \u00a0The Narrow Gauge Trail runs beside the North Fork of the South Platte River and could be managed by wheelchair if Jeffco would cut the weeds growing in the middle of the trail.<\/p>\n

\"Hikerwithcane\"<\/a>If you can hike without a walker, the very narrow, but level and easy North Fork view trail goes half a mile beyond Pine Lake to a bridge where you can come back on the Narrow Gauge Trail. \u00a0Snow and ice cover the trails in winter and early spring. \u00a0Parking lot: N39\u00b0 24.463′ \u00a0W105\u00b0 20.825′.<\/p>\n

South Table Mountain, Golden<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Mullein<\/a>
Mullein at sunset, easy trail at South Table Mt., Jefferson Co. Open Space, CO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Unfortunately the regular closing of the access road from Quaker St. to the top of the mesa renders our favorite part inaccessible for wheelchairs.<\/p>\n

\"Hikerwithcane\"<\/a>Hikers looking for an easy walk on the south side of the mesa can park in the small lot on Golden Hills Rd. a little west of Quaker Street. \u00a0GPS: N39\u00b0 44.844′ \u00a0W105\u00b0 11.031′ \u00a0Walk north a short way and then take the narrow path to the east which goes to the dirt road.\u00a0 Staying on the road would take you to the State Patrol training area and some NREL property, but first you reach a wide, crusher fine-based\u00a0 foot and bicycle trail .\u00a0 This has the same panoramic views as North Table Mt., but without the traffic noise and fumes.\u00a0 You are likely to see deer and hear coyotes and meadow larks, but be watchful for rattlesnakes.\u00a0 It is a great place for sunsets. \u00a0Addendum Sept, 2013: Jeffco Open Space is creating 3 miles of accessible trails on South Table Mt. \u00a0Once it is done, I will change this entry.<\/p>\n

\"Wheelchair<\/a>Lair O’ The Bear<\/a> is a small, lovely park by Bear Creek. \u00a0There is a little noise from Highway 74, but it is pretty quiet in the middle of the week.\u00a0 The park has accessible toilets, picnic tables, and a fishing deck.\u00a0 The pretty Creekside Trail and part of the Bear Creek Trail are wheelchair accessible and easy walking. \u00a0Dipper Bridge is now closed because of flood damage. \u00a0 \u00a0The normally easy Bear Creek Trail going west from Dipper Bridge\u00a0is often icy in winter. \u00a0 There is a new accessible fishing platform near Ouzel Bridge.
