Water Tower Trail hike, part 3

Instead of descending to Smoky Row Cemetery on your hike, I suggest walking across the ridge of hills, southeast, back toward your starting point.

Along the way, you may find one of the many paths used by the buffalo (below).

Just before you get back to Arapahoe Road, east of the service road mentioned in part 1 of this series is a small section of mining rails which was used at one time before this became a state park.

Below are some of the views from the rail bed above. Arapahoe Road is within sight of this location.
