Near Evergreen, Alderfer and Three Sisters Park offers breathtaking panoramas, iconic rock formations, stands of ponderosa pines and a large number of trails.

The Alderfer Barn near the trailhead is a small log barn built in the 1850s.

Temporary trail closure: between December 2023 and the summer of 2024 some trails on the west side of the park are closed for forestry management. You can read more details on which trails are under management here: jeffco.us/980/Alderfer-Three-Sisters-Park.

Parking lot can fill on weekends, at which point there's some spots along the road. People usually come across the east parking lot first so that will be more crowded along the road. Come early or late to get a spot.

From the west parking lot, you can access any area of the park on either side of the road.
