Why This Matters
The bluffs aren’t just open space. They’re the heart of our community — a sanctuary where neighbors hike, ride, reflect, and reconnect with the Colorado we love. Every sunrise over the East/West Trail reminds us what’s worth protecting: the open sky, the quiet trails, and the wildlife that still roam freely here.
The proposed Hillcamp Development would bring 343 new homes and a private amenity center covering nearly 400 acres — erasing critical wildlife habitat, increasing traffic, taxing vital resources and altering the landscape forever.

Together, we can protect the bluffs — and the community that depends on them.

Our Mission
Save the Lone Tree Bluffs is a community-led effort to protect the last wild mesas, bluffs and the East/West Regional Trail from overdevelopment. Our aim is to educate and inspire individuals to join us in preserving the natural beauty of our region.

Why are the bluffs and mesa tops important?
The bluffs and mesa tops are vital for preserving the natural landscape and wildlife habitats. Protecting them is essential for maintaining the ecological balance and beauty of our region. The bluffs also provide a peaceful respite for residents and visitors alike, and are an important part of the community.
Has the development already been approved by the City of Lone Tree?
NO. While this land was zoned for rural residential use in the early 2000s, this development has not been approved by the City Council of Lone Tree. It is in step two of a five step approval process. Previous zoning does NOT equal automatic approval.
