Jefferson County (JEFFCO) Open Space (OS) is holding an open house on
South Table Mountain (STM), Tuesday, Oct 24. This is your chance to
learn about the history and plans for STM, and give your opinion about
how you would like to see the park developed.

JEFFCO OS has owned part of STM since 1977. In 2004, they purchased
additional land. This now enables them to develop a park and trail
system. However, some of STM still remains in private hands. You'll be
surprised to see where the private land is, including the Castle
Rock/Golden Stairs.

STM is one of our regular run locations. How the park is developed
will affect how we and others can use the park in the future. In
encourage you to attend the open house, and/or send in your comments
about the future of STM.

The open house runs from 6:00-8:30pm. OS staff will give a short
presentation at 6:30pm. They will be there throughout the evening to
explain the existing ownership boundaries and trails, answer
questions, and to have your comments recorded for consideration.

The open house will be at the OS offices, 700 Jefferson County
Parkway, Golden. This is behind the Taj Mahal. Take hwy 6 to the light
just W of C470, or about 1mi S of Lookout Mtn Rd. This is Heritage Rd
& jwy 93 to the SW, and Jefferson County Parkway to the NE. Turn on
Jefferson County Parkway (right from Denver, left from
Golden/Boulder). The OS offices are about 1/4 mi down, on the left.

On Wed, Nov 1, there's a trail relay race at Bear Creek Lake Park
(BCLP), the Halloween Havoc.

4 person teams will run ~5mi each, on trails, at BCLP. The race starts
at 6pm. Head/hand lights are required. The trail will be marked with
glow sticks. The trails are fairly flat, and not that technical.

A team of 4 costs only $50. You can sign up online, at a Lakewood
recreation center, or at Runners Roost Lakewood.
