Section 16 Ridge trail (White Acres/Bethany Baptist Church parcel)   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #561 of 616 |

FYI, here’s some info on the White Acres parcel and it coming before the TOPS Working Committee to be considered for purchase as open space.  If any of you have ridden the ridge trail up above Gold Camp Road that runs from section 16 north to the top ot the landfill in Red Rock Canyon, this is the parcel that contains it.  It’s a great trail and there are many other feed trails that run between this trail and the Meadow Rock Loop that drops down to the bottom of the landfill.  This would be a fantastic addition to Red Rock Canyon & Section 16.

White Acres, which is owned by the Bethany Baptist Church, adjoins the south end of Red Rock Canyon Open Space and the east side of Section 16. It is between 40 and 50 acres spanning the hogbacks and is visually prominent from the east as well as from many places in Section 16. The popular informal trail which links the Lion Trail in Red Rock Canyon Open Space to Section 16 trails crosses White Acres.

 

The Church is now interested in selling White Acres; and an application for TOPS to acquire the property has been submitted. There will be an update on White Acres at theTOPS Working Committee meeting this Wednesday, May 21

 

The update on White Acres is scheduled for 5:15 PM; and it would be a good idea to arrive earlier in case other agenda items are shorter than scheduled.

 

Since the property is intimately connected to Red Rock Canyon Open Space, you may wish to attend the meeting to learn more and to express your interest.

 

To get to the Parks Department building, take Uintah to Glen Street just east of I-25, go north a block on Glen, then go west a block on San Miguel. San Miguel bends to the north and becomes Recreation Way. The building is on the right an about a block.

That is a great trail and is part of my favorite loop ride in Red Rocks. It would be tough for me to make the meeting. Are other people going? Rob Blog:...

FYI, there is developer interest in this parcel, so a show of support for preservation would go a long way towards trying to purchase as open space. The...
