This land is the soul of our community.

The Lone Tree bluffs aren’t just open land — they’re the heartbeat of this area. The wind through the grass. The calls of songbirds. The quiet moments when the world slows down and you remember why you chose to live in Colorado.

More than 500 visitors each day visit these trails. Neighbors walk dogs, watch sunsets, and breathe deep here. It’s where you can still feel the wild — and see mountain views unbroken by houses. These trails connect us to nature, to each other, and to ourselves. But that peace — that open-sky Colorado magic — is about to disappear. 

What’s happening.

Developers want to build the Hillcamp subdivision — over 343 homes and a private amenity center covering nearly 400 acres of wild mesa land.

If approved, it would replace sweeping views and quiet wildlife corridors with roads, rooftops, and fences.

This is one of the last undeveloped areas in Lone Tree, and if bulldozers move in the open space we cherish will be gone forever while the risk of more development is always possible. 

It’s not just Lone Tree’s loss — it’s everyone’s.

The East/West Regional Trail will be negatively impacted. This beloved 25+-mile soft-surface trail running through Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Castle Pines, and Parker, passes right through these bluffs and mesa tops. 

Once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.

Developers say they “own the land” but land ownership doesn’t guarantee the right to build — not when it means destroying public open space, wildlife habitat, and the very character of our region.

This project is NOT yet approved and the City of Lone Tree still has the power to say no.

We’re asking them to stand with the community — not the developers.

Why it matters.

The bluffs are a natural buffer against sprawl. They protect neighborhoods from wildfire spread and flooding. They shelter deer, elk, foxes, bobcats, and countless birds. They preserve something priceless: the feeling of stillness in a fast-growing world.

You can’t put a price on that. You can’t rebuild that once it’s gone.

What we’re asking for.

We urge the Lone Tree City Council to:

• Reject or reconsider the Hillcamp development proposal.
• Protect the bluffs and mesa tops as permanent open space.
• Preserve the East/West Trail corridor for all who use it.
• Not hand over public land for the Cabela Drive and Hillcamp Road extension.
• Seek sustainable alternatives that protect public lands and wildlife.

We will not trade our last wild places for another subdivision. Not this time.
