Trail Ride at Chief Hosa, Denver Mountain Parks
Two Riders and Four Horses today. We explored the area on the north side of I-70 near Chief Hosa. We took a right at the T and parked about a mile down on the ledt in some pull in spaces that were big enough for our trucks and trailers. The first part of the ride took us around a hill in a loop. Denver Mountain Parks employees appeared to be having a bonding day on the ropes course that follows this road width path. This was only about a half hour ride, so we decided to go down to the Chavez Trail. We went about 45 minutes to a stream and wooden bridge that was about 2 horse lengths long and then came back. The Chavez Trail was pretty technical because of steep areas, a rock wall, boulders, roots, small streams, branches, trees, loose ground, etc. Quite interesting to ride and pony a horse on. We think this trail may hook up with the Beaver Brook trail that heads over toward the Lookout Mountain Nature Center. We came out with just a few scratches and a bruised knee (mine). Nice, cool and shady in the trees though!
