Took limekiln trail to Kennedy and down the other side. This is an extremely well graded trail that rises 2000’. No water at trailhead and scant reception, at least for t-mobile. Didn’t see any wildlife. Saw a couple hikers and several Moi rain bikers.

We went to Castle Rock State Park. This is a very popular park for hiking and also for climbing. We were there on a sunny day in the fall.

We went to Vasona Lake County Park. This is a fun place for a walk.... It was a bit different this time due to the virus. There is usually a lot of people having picnics as its Easter Sunday. But we still had a great time. Others were riding their bikes. it was also free to enter this time - usually there is a small fee (six dollars) to park there.
4. Oak Meadow Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 56 reviews

Oak Meadow park offers several activities, boccie courts, picnic grounds and fields for sports. You should make reservations for these facilities. Look for the website.The unusual aspect is the Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad and the Carousel. The railroad winds around the park with a real steam locomotive and cars all at 1/3 scale. Operated by volunteers who love what they are doing there is always time for questions about trains and Billy Jones who constructed the railroad on his property and operated it there for many years before it was moved to Oak Meadow Park. For those who enjoy a real carousel- this is the place. Both stationary and moving animals take the circle ride into adventure- good for all ages.
