Summary:
Description: Celebrate Mother's Day with your special ones on the grounds of this picturesque Scottish-style castle just 30 miles south of Downtown Denver! Built by Charles Alfred Johnson from 1924 to 1926, Charlford Castle, as it was originally named, sits atop a sandstone mesa with breathtaking views of the Front Range. Today, Cherokee Ranch encompasses over 3100 acres of grassland, shrub lands, and conifer forests and is home to elk, black bear, wild turkeys and Santa Gertrudis cattle.
VOC will partner with Douglas County Open Space, The Cherokee Ranch and Castle Foundation to construct a new access trail from the Cherokee Castle to the group picnic area. The trail will provide spectacular views of the foothills and the valley below, and provide opportunities for birding, educational programs and public access to the wildlife sanctuary.
Join us in honoring all Colorado moms and especially Mother Earth on this spring time project! Bring the whole family for a royal and productive day at one of Colorado's most beautiful urban ranchlands.
