COTrex Map Updated

The Colorado Trails Explorer (COTrex) map of Stratton Open Space has been updated!  The trails now match what's on the ground pretty accurately, although the labels on some of the trails and descriptions are still wrong.  Still, it's great to have the map up to date, after all the changes in recent years.  You can view it in the COTrex app or at
