Downtown Denver is less that 30 minutes from Chief Hosa, and there's lots to do in the city...

Hop on a Bike!
We couldn't not encourage you to get on a bike this weekend! The city has multiple bike parks, 850 miles of paved, off-street biking and walking trails, connecting cyclists with all parts of Denver, from downtown to the Cherry Creek Reservoir. Trails also stretch west from the city, connecting riders to Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre . The Denver Moves plan, which aims to increase access to “high comfort bikeways” throughout the city is actively adding 270 more miles of bikeways, bike boulevards and separated bike lanes on streets to make it even safer and easier to scoot around town or cycle into the foothills and enjoy biking and mountain biking in Denver Mountain Parks.
