Site
This covered pavilion is in the heart of Hermit Park Open Space and adjacent to a large 2.5 acre meadow. The meadow, which is filled with aspen groves, ponderosa pines, and often wildflowers, is a beautiful wedding ceremony site offering scenic views and stunning rock formations for photo opportunities and outdoor group gatherings. The pavilion features stone wrapped columns, picnic tables, a gas fire pit, and a large propane and charcoal grill with catering space for up to 150 people. A sand volleyball court and horseshoe pits are also available. The 4-mile round trip Kruger Rock trail, located directly across from the meadow area, is a moderate hike with spectacular views of the Continental Divide. Nearby cabins and campsites are available to reserve at the park as well.
