Casey & Miles at Hildebrand Ranch Park

Meet Miles, a super fun and incredibly spry 14 year old Chihuahua mix. While arthritis may curtail some of his bigger adventures, it certainly doesn’t stop him from living life to the fullest. When he wasn’t hamming it up for the camera, he spent our time together crittering in the tall grass, eating his weight in string cheese and getting massive amounts of snuggles.

About the location — Hildebrand Ranch Park

Tucked in the foothills just west of Chatfield State Park and south of Deer Creek you’ll find Hildebrand Ranch Park. A historic ranching property covering 1,671 acres of open grassland hemmed in by sagebrush studded foothills. I love this location for its wide expanse of prairie and the way the last bit of light streams through the foothills just as the sun sets. This location doesn’t see quite as much traffic as some of JeffCo’s other open space parks near Denver, so it’s perfect for dogs who may need a little more space or if you’d prefer some solitude.

Hildebrand Ranch doesn’t have much shade, making it better suited for the colder winter months or early spring before it gets too hot.
