The U.S. Forest Service and National Parks are currently working on the Kenosha Pass Interpretive Project as part of a national historic restoration program. The project includes a new 12 unit picnic area, new trailhead, and a 5-site interpretive trail recounting local history as well as the role of the railroad in shaping local history. 750 feet of narrow guage track will be laid with 4 of the 5 interpretive sites dedicated to the history of the Denver South Park and Pacific Railroad that serviced the mountain area during the early 1900s. The interpretive trail will be built on the same side as the pond with a trail connecting the parking area with the railroad exhibit and wildlife viewing area. A mile-long boardwalk provides wheelchair access along the stream, camping sites for tents, and scenic hiking.
Reservations are necessary.
Wilderness on Wheels and Kenosha Pass are approximately 65 miles southwest of Denver on U.S. Highway 285.
