Electric Vehicle Charging Station
Two charging stations are located in the Park Office parking lot. They are 1st come 1st serve and accessible 6 am to 10 pm daily with the cost of the park entry fee. When the rangers close up for the night, they lock the gate at the bottom of the hill to the office, so it can’t be used during that time.
Find more details on Chargehub.com’s Cherry Creek page (but note hours listed on this outside website are not correct).
