Deer Creek Canyon Park Trailhead
今天因為晚上登山隊另有一個Pot luck dinner party，所以領隊安排一趟較為簡短的健行路線“ Meadowlark Trail、Plymouth Creek Trail Loop”，該步道位在Littleton市西南角的Deer Creek Canyon Park內，屬於Jefferson County Open Space所轄的一處開放空間；該公園內登山步道蠻多的，錯綜複雜，我們今天走的路線是Meadowlark Trail→Plymouth Creek Trail→Plymouth Mountain Trail→Scenic View Trail→Plymouth Mountain Trail→Plymouth Creek Trail一個環線，全程約6.9哩。
