Evergreen is a hiking paradise 30-40 minutes from Denver and Three Sisters Park is on the top of that list! I would definitely put this as the number one hiking area for kids! On a beautiful Monday morning during Thanksgiving week, I saw so many kids (3-10) hiking along with their parents. The bonus for kids – there are several large boulders to climb and explore. I call it nature’s playground! I parked at the East Trailhead a few minutes outside of downtown Evergreen. I headed up the Sisters Trail, continued down Bearberry Trail and came back to the parking lot via Homestead and Ponderosa. This was a 4 mile hike yet there are several trails throughout the park so you can shape your hike based on your desired duration. I recommend hiking up Brothers Lookout for a snack or lunch break. The lookout provides an expansive view of the valley – filled with evergreens!
