Soderberg Open Space

Description

This addition to Horsetooth Mountain Park can be found just northwest of Inlet Bay at Horsetooth Reservoir, nestled against the eastern slope of Horsetooth Mountain. This is the former home of one of Larimer County's pioneer families. It provides a unique opportunity to illustrate a working ranch landscape from days gone by.

Soderberg Open Space and trailhead may be accessed by following signs to Inlet Bay off of Shoreline Drive.
