Trying to scope some new "designated" shooting areas, but not having much luck. I know of the Harris Park clearing, and the one south of Pine, in addition to the one west of Lyons near Peak-to-Peak.

Any other relatively close spots that ya'll can recommend?

It is as long as you abide by their rules which they have posted usually at every opening. Often the same trails you can ride you can find good places to shoot.
