Afternoon clouds roll over some of the red rock formations on June 20, 2018, at the 2,038-acre Sandstone Ranch, an open space recently announced by Douglas County as open to hikers, cyclists and equestrians. It has been anticipated since 2017, when the county's sales tax-supported fund for preserving recreation land came through on the acquisition. Along a 12-mile, non-motorized trail, visitors can explore the colorful expanse west of Larkspur along Colorado 105. "I really think this will be the crown jewel," said Open Space and Natural Resources director Cheryll Matthews. — Seth Boster, The Gazette (Christian Murdock/The Gazette)
