Genesee Park is a park in Jefferson County, Colorado. It is the largest park in the Denver Mountain Parks system, with a total of Шаблон:Convert. The land for Genesee Park was initially purchased in 1912 and the park area was largely complete by 1926.
The park contains two mountains, Genesee Mountain at Шаблон:Convert above sea level and Bald Mountain at Шаблон:Convert above sea level. The park also contains forests of ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir, and lodgepole pine. Interstate 70 traverses the park between exits 252 and 254 along the Lariat Loop Scenic & Historic Byway. On I-70 just west of exit 254, there are scenic overlooks for both directions for viewing the historic Bison herd, which live on maintained pastures on the north and south sides of I-70. The park's bison herd is owned by the City and County of Denver.[1] Some of the original bison were acquired from Yellowstone National Park by the Denver Zoo and the City of Denver as early leaders in the conservation of bison.[2] The bison herd moved here in 1914 and was expanded to Daniels Park in 1938.[3] Thirty five bison were distributed to Native American tribes in 2023.[4][5]
Chief Hosa Lodge, designed by Jacques Benedict, was built in 1918. A historical point of interest near Exit 253, it is used as an event facility. The nearby Chief Hosa Campground serves recreational travelers each year between May and September. A large stone picnic shelter near Genesee Mountain was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1939.[6] There is a "Braille trail" area with signs and guide ropes.[7]
