The deer are still here (come see them if you haven't yet), but there's a lot more @BluffLake! If you're looking for a great way to spend the #SummerSolstice join us on June 21! @DaveCBS4 @BrittMorenoTV @SandCreekGrnwy @USFWSRMA_Alert @DenverWestword @audubonsociety @nature_org

Our 3 visitors became 5 overnight. Getting up early means there are more deer @BluffLake than people. Support safe spaces for wildlife! https://t.co/AU9omw6y91. #natureinthecity @LandLibrary @ChrisCBS4 @joelhillan @CBSDenver @GovofCO @CUAnschutz @ELKkids @nature_org @REI

Here's some beauty from our @SandCreekGrnwy at @BluffLake from this morning's walk with @StapletonWalks @walk2connect. Why not get out this week and #walk?

[Bluff Lake @BluffLake]

Yep! Just got really windy here with light rain as well!

Great relief from the smoke this morning @BluffLake! Mountains were clear! Hope the skies will stay clear for a while but not holding our breath. It's hot right now: 91°! Hope you're enjoying your #weekend! #cowx @ChrisCBS4 @AshtonCBS4 @LaurenCBS4 @DaveAgCBS @USFWSRMA_Alert

And, we have bike racks in the parking lot if you want to ride to visit us! Just bring a lock and your bike will stay secure while you walk/run around our 1 mile-lake loop trail!

[Sand Creek Greenway @SandCreekGrnwy]

Such an important place of beauty, quiet and wildlife on our @SandCreekGrnwy.

Remember, bikes and pets are not allowed on @BluffLake, and our trail wraps around it so bikes and pets can still traverse our full 14 miles!

PSA for our visitors: @BluffLake opens at sunrise and closes at sunset each day. As we transition into autumn, that means we open later and closer earlier 😧. Today we'll close the gate 7:41 pm! @StapletonWalks @StapletonDenver @CityofDenver

Many mountain locations reporting dusting of snow last few days. Thinking about snow here @BluffLake in #Denver amid late-summer heat for next several days! #cowx Currently 77° en route to 90°. #snowdreams @Arapahoe_Basin @skicrestedbutte @AspenSnowmass @LovelandSkiArea @vailmtn

@AshtonCBS4 @ChrisCBS4 @DaveAgCBS @LaurenCBS4 @CBS4Mark @CBSDenver @denverastro @denverparksrec @DPSNewsNow @NWSBoulder Ah bummer. Really hope weather changes soon for those people and areas impacted by large fires along west coast!
