Part of the Elk Meadow Open Space, the upper trailhead off of Stagecoach Boulevard has outgrown current visitor ship. Valerian and the design team have developed a new site plan that will expand the parking lot capacity, add trailhead amenities such as new trail kiosks and vault bathrooms as well as relocating picnic areas. Proposed improvements will also increase ADA access. Given the valued existing conditions of the site, Valerian has paid particular attention to situating new amenities into the topography while still preserving as many existing trees as possible and highlighting the beautiful views of the meadows. Once completed, the new trailhead will also serve Stagecoach South, which has undergone a stabilization and restoration plan and will re-open as a dog friendly on-leash trail system. Anticipated completion is expected in Summer 2025.
