Stratton Open SpaceStratton Open Space is a diverse region of five ecosystems including a ponderosa pine forest, scrub oak brush land, a high meadow grassland, a cattail marsh and a riparian area. The area contains a wide variety of wildlife. Eight miles of trails range from easy to difficult. It has one of the region’s most popular mountain biking trails—the Chutes. Please stay on marked trails and don’t use any of the still existing social trails. The City is trying to re-vegetate those. There are trails for everyone including hiking-only trails for those wishing to avoid bikes. The Chamberlain Trail through Stratton will be the key north-south trail on the west side of the City. Parking is available at the trailheads off Ridgeway, La Veta and just past the Starsmore Discovery Center (at the entrance to North Cheyenne Canyon.) Take 21st. St south from Hwy. 24. It turns into Cresta. Head west on La Veta, just south of Cheyenne Mountain High School. Ridgeway is north off Cheyenne Blvd.
