In Lone Tree, there is also
Bluffs Regional Park. It's only 3 miles, but it has amazing views of the Front Range.
Be sure to watch the weather. If we have gotten a lot of rain/snow, the trails will be very muddy.
Thank you for the suggestions. We are going to stay around Lone Tree at a HP. We will add Bluffs to the list.
