Parker – a land where green grasses mix with wild prairie. Neighborhoods mix with wild forest. Deer roam through the plains and backyards. And you feel released to the wild on two wheels.
Here at Mobilebikeman.com we have had the pleasure of visiting Parker many times over the years and we have noticed the abundance of cycling opportunities there.
If you’re ready, then lets take a cycling tour of Parker!
Cherry Creek Trail Parker
If you’re familiar with the Denver Metro area trails you’ve probably heard of the Cherry Creek bike path. But did you know that not only does this trail traverse downtown Denver, it also goes all the way south to Parker and into Franktown? Cherry Creek bike path is one of our favorites due to the great Colorado scenery, abundance of amenities (water, restrooms), and accessibility.
Hidden Mesa Open Space
Just 12.6 miles from Parker center you’ll find Hidden Mesa Open Space. It’s beautiful nature retreat that feels far away from the city life but takes less than an hour to get to. Douglas County offers guided bike tours on both paved and dirt trails. Or of course you can explore on your own! We love these trails for their peacefulness and the opportunity to see Colorado wildflowers.
Tallman Gulch Trail
The Tallman Gulch Trail is a 3.5-mile long paved pathway that extends from Mainstreet to Buffaloberry Drive along Tallman Gulch. The trail intersects Sulphur Gulch Trail at the north end and wraps around residential neighborhoods to the east side of Parker Road. The south end of the trail goes past Tallman Park, Legend High School and Cimarron Middle School. There’s even a coffeehouse nearby for refreshment!
If you’re looking for beautiful nature scenes and paved and dirt options, then Parker is a great choice.
