Dawson Butte, Flat-topped mountain in Douglas County, Colorado.
Dawson Butte rises to 7,474 feet elevation, featuring a network of trails through forested areas and open meadows within an 828-acre open space property.
The geological formation and surrounding area received its name from Thomas Dawson, an early settler of the Plum Creek region during Colorado's development.
The open space serves as a gathering point for outdoor activities including hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking throughout the changing seasons.
The park maintains an unpaved parking area that accommodates twenty horse trailers and remains open from one hour before sunrise until one hour after sunset.
An old bridle path with preserved jumps remains on the property, indicating the strong equestrian heritage of this Douglas County natural area.
