trail of lights

The Candy Cane tree in the children's play area at Trail of Lights. Lighting up the country at Chatfield! With the Colorado foothills as a backdrop, more than one million twinkling lights illuminate the beauty of a charming forest path at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield.

A children's play area - including a treehouse - are included along the trail path. Tour a restored 1880s homestead that will be decorated in a charming Colorado country Christmas motif. Hot cocoa and other refreshments will be sold to ward off the chill during the walk through the Gardens' trail. Holospex 3-D glasses, which have been hugely popular at the Gardens’ York Street location, will be available for just $1. Lots of free parking.
