DRIVE DESCRIPTION
We will be driving west on US 285 to the town of Jefferson. From there we head south on County Road 77 to a stop at Tarryall Reservoir. There are pit toilets at the reservoir. Following a 30-minute stop at the reservoir, we will continue south through Lake George, Florissant, and on to Woodland Park, where we will stop at the City Market shopping center for lunch, where a few restaurant options exist. All roads are paved, except for about 200 feet at the reservoir parking lot. There are a few cattle crossings on County Road 77. The spillway trail immediately south of the reservoir is closed for renovation construction work, so we won’t be able to hike that trail. Total drive time from meeting location to lunch location, including stops will be about 3 hours, and is about 120 miles. The drive back to the Denver metro area is on your own, with options that include going south to Colorado Springs, then north on route of your choice (I-25, US 83, I-25 to Monument/Palmer Lake/Sedalia); north from Woodland Park to Deckers/Buffalo Creek/US 285; or???
Lunch (optional) -- $10-15 per person
