A new favorite local spot

Last weekend I discovered Glendale Farm Open Space.  There is a 17 acre off-leash dog park, which the dogs LOVED.  It wasn't just a big flat square - it had hills, some bushes and trees they darted in and out of, and beautiful views of Pikes Peak (and I25 but I could ignore that).  It even had some dog agility equipment, but Blackie and Riley were NOT into that.  After we took a loop around the dog park, I thought we'd follow the trail for a bit.  Later I found it was 1.6 miles, so sometime I want to go back and do it twice for a 5k trail run.  Glendale Farm is my new favorite local nature spot behind Castlewood Canyon!
