Columbine Open Space and Trail

Nice open space about six miles south of Castle Rock on the east side of I-25. There are two hiking/biking loops. The southern loop is more scenic and extends several miles past the Tomah Road exit. Although I am not sure, there may be a way to continue under I-25 and link up with another trail that continues into Larkspur south to the Greenland Open Space and beyond.

Good place to stop if you want to hike or just use a clean port o potty

Perfect place to shoot family photos, site see, hike, etc. Recommend for outdoorsy people.

The trails are nice and open. It runs along I25 heading south. There are two easy loop trails from the Trailhead. The southern trail connects to a longer trail that goes down through Larkspur. I decided to take the longer trail south to Tomah Rd and it was a beautiful walk. I didn't get to see any trains on my side but the tracks run parallel to the trail in many areas. I will be back to do the Northern loop!!

Great place to hike and spend a couple hours outdoors with great views
