Forty-Three (43) trucks/trailers lined up 3 rows deep! More than an estimated one hundred (100) equestrians came out to to ride the brand new Dawson Butte Ranch Open Space in Douglas County! An amazing time was had on this newly built five (5) mile trail that circled the ranch.

Trail Ride Description: The Dawson Butte Ranch is the newest acquisition by the Douglas County just South of Castle Rock. Even though this Open Space will not be open to the public until August 2008, we had the rare opportunity to be the first group of equestrians to ride this trail system; let me tell you, we were not disappointed!
Once again, The Colorado Trail Riders want to thank Douglas County for opening is area for us to ride, and for the awesome catered lunch and the unbelievable fellowship!
