Where you'll be:
Fillius Park is situated just north of Evergreen near Highway I-70 and offers great hiking and picnicking opportunities near Denver. The park is also home to one of the most important structures in the entire Denver Mountain Parks system. The stone shelter was constructed in 1918 by Denver architect J.J. Benedict. The park also boasts two roads that loop the park, constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the late 1930s. The exact meeting location will be shared via email at least 7 days prior to the project.
