Elephant Butte and the new bike
-Parkland Owned by Jefferson County Open Space
-Unnamed Park (Elephant Park?)
-This Denver Mountain Park is named for Elephant Butte, which resembles an elephant.
-680 acres undeveloped land near Elephant Butte
Now I’m confused. Are the trails (roads) north of 3 Sisters considered part of Elephant Butte, Elephant Park or an extension of 3 Sisters? Either way there is nothing new except for some signs! I was fortunate enough to ride here before Jeffco closed the singletrack and the road to the top for re vegetation. What a waste. I keep hoping they are going to build some new trails. Looks like the master plan calls for a loop around Elephant Butte.
It’s kind of fun but nothing special.

Silver Creek out and back
Only a couple small patches of snow. Hard to believe that I had to carry my bike through 2 feet of snow for about a mile last week! The RR grade should be ready to go when I get back from Fruita.
