trail of lights

With the foothills as a stunning backdrop, more than one million twinkling lights illuminate a winding path through the Colorado countryside.

Spread throughout Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, Trail of Lights offers visitors a choice of paths; a shorter route takes visitors directly to the children’s play area, while an extended path allows visitors to explore the Green Farm Barn and silo before continuing onto the children’s area and 1880s homestead.

Fun features this year:

• New Children’s Play Area, with lights synchronized to holiday music.
• Illuminated antique and model tractors on display.
• Don’t forget to stop by the warming hut! Children can also enjoy making holiday crafts. 
• See Trail of Lights from a different perspective: hayrides highlighting Chatfield’s natural beauty are available at an additional cost Fridays and Saturdays (weather permitting). $5 per person.
• Hot drinks are available for purchase and seasonal entertainment is provided.

Members receive two complimentary tickets to Blossoms of Light and Trail of Lights. Members will receive a postcard invitation in late November with more details on how to redeem the tickets.
