South Valley / Deer Creek Canyon Open Space Parks

This is one of the upper loops of Deer Creek Canyon open space park. The route to get me here started at my house, passed by my work location, and went through the rocks you can see in the distance. Denver is off further in the distance.

A view to a poach. They cut this trail last year but never officially opened it for some reason. Now, it is about reclaimed. Freshies!
It was deep!
