Forest views filling in with 2024 leaves Near the Aman Park trail head, this view off the bluff down to the Sand Creek offers long views when the tree branches are bare during late fall, winter, and early spring. But now the green is returning quickly. In another week of mild temperatures, occasional rain, and longer days, the view will turn into a wall of green.
