Alderfer/Three Sisters Park

This review is specifically for the Evergreen Mountain Trail, and it's also more for previous experiences here rather than today. Even though many on AllTrails said the trail was fine within the past few days, it was clearly iced over today. No worries, as we had our spikes with us. Well, one worry, as one of my wife's spikes decided to sabotage our day and start to tear. After fighting with it for 30 mins or so, we abandoned our attempts to continue on the trail.Other than today, the Evergreen Mountain Trail is one of our favorites in Colorado. The views from the top are amazing. I can't recommend it enough; however, if you're going this time of year, take your spikes...you'll need them.

Awesome place to hike with or without a dog. We did the Elephant Butte trail (roughly 6 miles at 1400 feet of climb). The snow and ice made it more exhilarating ( bring micro spikes).Gorgeous views from the top.Great parking lot.Nice bathrooms.

It was a great hike to Elephant Butte with views all the way out to Mount Evans. Get there early because the parking lot is pretty small. There were a ton of mountain bikers when we were there, but they used the trails across the street.

Just about 40 mins from Denver, decided to take our dog (he's the reason we're outdoor people now) for a hike. Perfect hike for the perfect day! The trail was covered in snow but today was fairly sunny and warm - turned out great! We did not have any spikes and I slipped a couple of times but over all was manageable. There are so many trails and you can choose which one you want to go for. We look the longer ponderosa trail about 4.8 km long and moderately trafficked. It had a few spots where we had to climb but it's completely doable even for an amateur. Our dog had so much fun! Definitely coming back in the summer.

Ahhh, it feels great to be back on the trails! Last week's hike took us to Evergreen's Alderfer/Three Sisters Park. From where we live it was a brief 35 minute drive, a beautiful one at that, too. It was our first time here and we opted to park in the West parking lot and hit the Evergreen Mountain Trail. 10/10 would recommend!Parking lot was full around 9:30 am on a Saturday morning. But not as crowded as I expected. Relatively clean and maintained bathrooms are available for use at the trail head near the stables. Evergreen is just that, green as ever! Beautiful trees line the trails, with mountain bikers whizzing by you. We brought our dog (on a leash, of course) and she enjoyed the trails, too. The views might not be as thrilling off the bat, but the trek to the summit is well worth it. Stunning and picturesque views of snow-capped Mount Evans? Oh yes!Our last two weekend hikes have been extremely successful and we hope to continue the streak this weekend, weather permitting. Colorado, I heart you!

Great park with easy/moderate trails great for groups and people who aren't too experienced in hiking. Beautiful views with some shade. The parking lot also wasn't too crowded given that you do arrive at a reasonable hour for a hike. Highly recommend!

This is a great hiking spot that is not challenging next to Denver. The trails are wide and more dirt than rock, which provides easier footing. I have a foot injury which prevents me from doing the level of activity that I would like to do but this trail was easy and there were no steep inclines. It was very open and smelled so fresh too. It was a nice mix of scene - trees, rocks. Though there were areas where my son was able to climb up rocks and enjoy that where I could stay on level ground, so that was nice. We saw a rabbit, squirrels and different birds. Definitely worth a trip there to do some hiking.

First hike since moving to Colorado! Finally my husband I could get outside with our two huskies. The signage for the park is very clear. While there's two small parking lots, you can always park along the street and walk to the trailhead. It was quite busy, even for a pandemic. I guess everyone wanted to get outside. It's a gorgeous series of routes of varying difficulty. Next to the restrooms, the trail map is clearly marked. We ascended to the Brother's Lookout for scenic photo ops. My husband and I might have taken a more difficult route if we didn't have the pups, but it turned out to be a decently tiring hike for all of us.Nothing more to say here... there's plenty of shade throughout, and the whole park is clean and well-kept. Be careful of mountain bikers sharing the same trails, though we didn't feel like we were in danger. I'm still thinking about the section of bouldering shown on the map. I might want to try that out in the future!

Such a wonderful hike and the scenery there is breath taking. Trails that are well shaded and beautiful surrounding of earth forms and evergreens. I was t able to try out any other trail but the panda Rosa trail but I'll be back to check out the others

This is a beautiful open space hike. I wasn't sure when I saw the big garbage bin in the corner of the open space. It was still beautiful. The groups I saw were diverse. I ran into other hiking families, hiking pets with their owners, and bikers as well. It was helpful to use the all trails app to guide me through some of the marked hikes. If you come on your own or with a buddy (preferably with a buddy) then I would just explore on your own without a planned hike. That way the hiker will be able to find their way back on a new trail. Make sure you have the knowledge or map to find your way back to the car.
