Daniels Park is home to the second of Denver’s two bison herds. It also offers one of the most expansive vistas in Colorado, stretching from Pikes Peak to the Snowy Range in Wyoming. The only Denver Mountain Park located in Douglas County, Daniels Park is also the only park in a High Plains environment.

Daniels is part of a larger regional open-space system protecting the rimrock landscape in the area.
