Evergreen Mountain Trail

view from Evergreen Mountain

Evergreen Mountain Trail West offers a pleasant hike through pine forest with great views of the surrounding mountains including Mt. Evans and the town of Evergreen. This trail begins at the Alderfer Three Sisters Park (Jefferson County Open Space).

Park at the west lot to begin your hike up Evergreen Mountain. The trail is on the south side of Buffalo Park Rd. (opposite side than the parking lot).

The trail will take you through the forest on a well maintained and well traveled dirt trail. Stop along the way for views through the trees, and wildlife, or to picnic. The long uphill hike is worth every effort when you reach the rocky summit because the views are fantastic!
Another great hike at Alderfer Three Sisters Open Space Park is: Sisters Trail.

      Mary, I’m glad your site is moderated. I thought the note was going directly to you so you could see if there was information worth sharing before anything was actually posted to your website. Would you please take my Facebook links off if it’s not too late! Thanks! Tony

    Me and my boys took this hike in early June, we really enjoyed it. It wasn’t very difficult but we worked up a bit of a sweat. The youngest is 13 and we received no complaints from him. Thanks for the good directions and description they were spot on.
