With a spectacular view of the foothills as well as Denver, Sedalia, Colorado is a beautiful town in the SW Denver Metro Area. Located in Douglas County, many people find this place great for enjoying different outdoor activities.

Those traveling south on U.S. 85 toward Castle Rock or those looking for adventures in the Pike National Forest will have to pass through Sedalia to get there. While new communities are being developed on either side of Sedalia, the tiny community has managed to keep many of its quaint qualities. Several older buildings and homes remain in the area and a few craft shops and restaurants are all within walking distance of the town’s heart—the old rail line. The corner bar is also a favorite for bikers making the scenic rides along the two thoroughfares.
Those seeking outdoor adventure rather than art will enjoy spectacular fly fishing along the South Platte River west of Sedalia. Hiking and biking trails and camping facilities also abound throughout the Rampart Range in Pike National Forest, also due west of town.
Rampart Range
Located in the Pike-San Isabel National Forest about 35 miles southwest of Denver are more than 100 miles of trail for off-road motorcycles (dirt bikes, trail bikes, or whatever you call them) and ATVs. This area is known as the Rampart Range Motorized Recreation Area. The trails, some of which were originally stage coach roads, and stock and game trails, traverse several hundred square miles of national forest at elevations ranging from about 6,500 feet to over 8,500 feet. There are currently over 20 designated trails with terrain and challenges varied enough for riders of all abilities to find enjoyable. The South Platte Ranger District of the USDA Forest Service and the Rampart Range Motorcycle Management Committee (RRMMC) maintain the trail system.
