Breakfast Ride at Bear Creek Lake Park in Morrison

Posted on by

Breakfast Ride – Sunday, May 20th

We have had interest in members getting together for a breakfast ride.  To accommodate those who want to get out early for ride a breakfast, we have scheduled one for Sunday, May 20th.  We will ride through Bear Creek Lake Park in Morrison, and head east out of the park to the adjacent Homestead Golf Course – that happens to have hitching rails and a very nice restaurant for breakfast/brunch.  (Be sure and bring your halter/lead ropes to tie your horses at the hitching rails the golf course has provided.)

Ride out location will be from the dead-end cul-de-sac, that is on the west side of the first Simms St. traffic circle, on the south side of US Hwy 285.  This area provides free parking and easy access to the park, so you do not have to pay the park entrance fee.  Please rsvp through our website comment form, so we know how many are coming.  We don’t want to leave without you.  Be ready to ride at 9:00 AM.

Trail ride meet-up at Dawson Butte Ranch Open Space Park

Posted on by

At our May meeting we scheduled several “during the week” trail rides for our members that are available for weekday riding and want to meet up at some of our local parks.   Our first one will be this Tuesday, May 22, 2018.

This park has a small parking area, so we are planning to arrive early and be ready to ride by 9:30 AM.

This park only has a 5 mile trail, but it has a parallel bridle path with over 50 jumps along the route.  It has a nice picnic spot halfway out, with tie rails for the horses.

Here is a link for more info: https://www.douglas.co.us/dcoutdoors/trails/open-space-trails/dawson-butte-ranch-open-space-trail/

Directions:

1923 Tomah Road, Castle Rock. From I-25, take the Plum Creek Parkway exit west and head south five miles on the frontage road; turn right/west at Tomah Road; follow 1.5 miles to the Dawson Butte Ranch entrance on the right.
