    Hiking

    In the early 1900's John Walker, who was then owner of the property, wanted to build a Summer White House. A place where the President could spend time enjoying Colorado. In 1914 the marble cornerstone was laid, but that was as far as it got. Today, you can see the historical maker, along with great views of the surrounding mountains and Denver.
