I didn't even know of this place until 2 months ago. And from any high spot in the park you can see downtown Denver in the distance (to the NNE.) It's down by Waterton Canyon and surrounded by Pike Nat'l Forest, Waterton Canyon and Douglas County Open Space parkland on 3 sides. Excellent place to hike or train to get in shape from Nov. to April when it's too nasty to snowshoe higher up. You can make it a full day by leaving the park and heading up into Pike NF, but you can't camp in Roxborough, and you can't leave a car in the park or its lots after sundown, so you can't hike thru it and camp outside of it.
