    Tips

    July 17, 2023

    In 1916, John Walker's, a self-made millionaire and venturer, wife died. Two years later, lightning struck the Walker home and destroyed the structure. These two tragedies forced Walker to leave the area. The land he’d purchased and preserved became the foundation for the Denver Mountain Parks and Jefferson County Open Space’s hiking trails and public lands.
