February 28, 20212/28/21. Very, very muddy in some spots. Nice simple 3.4 mile loop with sun exposure the whole time.
February 21, 2021Nice hike to do with the dogs. It was very moody tho. But if you want something quick and close to Denver. This is a good place!
February 8, 2021I really enjoyed it. Not too busy and for the most part room to let bikers pass. It was nice to take my dog to the dog park beforehand too.
January 16, 2021It was a very nice trail, not too busy. It was very windy and no shade. The parking lots is not too big and was very crowded, since there’s also a dog park there.
January 12, 2021Great condition, minimal mud.
December 21, 2020Muddy, the specially near the trailhead. Easy for some unacclimated guests. Originally planned to do green mountain via some older marked trails, but they have been fenced off. A good family hike if you don’t mind a little mud.
December 20, 2020Short easy trail to stretch the legs close to home. Not many people on the trail but pretty muddy in some spots.
December 20, 2020Fine hike
December 4, 2020November 28, 2020way too muddy. Not recommended right now but is a nice trail when drier.
October 31, 2020Park across the street at Forsberg Park and there's a short tunnel under Alameda that drops you right at the beginning/end of this trail. I made the mistake of going the opposite direction (turning left to start) because it looked like an easier beginning, but then I ended up turning too early and going up a series of brutal switchbacks where there was a constant stream of mountain bikers instead of continuing straight where the trail would have eventually turned back. Moral of the story: it's probably a lot easier to stay on the right trail if you turn right at the beginning!
October 15, 2020Beautiful! Really enjoyed this hike, and the views were amazing. A little sketched out by the potential for rattlesnakes and the tons of signs posted for that, but it makes sense.
October 2, 2020Heavily biked and trafficked trail with full exposure. just a quick little hike around the hood.
September 26, 2020September 22, 2020August 15, 2020Easy enough for two beginners. Trail is very busy & has some steep parts.
August 13, 2020Good variation of small uphill sections with flat and downhill. Really good for beginner trail running.
August 3, 2020Great with a 9 & 10 year old!
August 2, 2020Great views
July 30, 2020Near Denver and pretty easy. Nice views of Red Rocks and the Front Range. Denver in the distance. Lots of bikers, but not much traffic. No shade at all but it was cool and breezy...
June 13, 2020Great for trail runs!
May 13, 2020love this loop as there are typically fewer people, as was the case this day. with babe on back and pup at side. babe struggled toward the end, was a bit too long for her.
May 7, 2020April 29, 2020Great mountain run. Slightly technical
April 22, 2020April 11, 2020April 7, 2020No mud
March 18, 2020Super busy trail even during the quarantine. But beautiful for being so close to town
