We begin our ride on the State Highway 93 Trail on its northern end at Golden’s North Table Mountain Park (the park’s West Trailhead). The park is in a beautiful area with other (unpaved) trails to explore. We rode this trail for about 1 mile south to its connection with the Tucker Gulch Trail (near the intersection of Mesa Drive and Joseph Circle) and enjoyed both trails. Although the State Highway 93 Trail parallels the roadway, there’s a nice median in between with native grasses and wildflowers, as well as the occasional wall, so the experience felt safe and pleasant.
We begin the Tucker Gulch Trail on its northwestern end at a connection with the State Highway 93 Trail (near the intersection of Mesa Drive and Joseph Circle in Golden). From there, we headed southeast, through Norman D. Memorial Park, quiet neighborhoods, and scenic natural areas until reaching the Golden Freeway underpass. It was just over a mile of riding and a very pleasant experience.
We biked a section of the Grange Hall Creek Trail in Thornton from Margaret Carpenter Park through the south end of Grange Creek Park and into the Riverdale Open Space. It was a really pleasant ride through a beautiful natural setting and a prairie dog habitat.
Rainbow Trail is a great stress free connector from the Arvada firefighters Park to the east rainbow park in North Arvada. Nice wide well maintained concrete trails. Mostly passes in between fences of houses on each side of the route but with ample trees. Great way to get to King Soopers (80th & Wadsworth) from the West End of Arvada.
Not too difficult, but there’s a pretty good incline hill in the middle of the route. You’re rewarded with a beautiful view of the park and surrounding Colorado Springs once you reach the top of it. Couple of intersections with creeks and a few options to swap up your route.
I rode this trail while in town for a conference and it did not disappoint. Use the lime bikes too. It was peaceful.
Rode from MM 0, west to Fox Hollow Golf course. The trail starts in a very urban area, surrounded by many houses and shopping centers. This area the trail is narrow, with some sharp turns. As it goes west it opens up with a wider trail and lots of great scenery. It crosses the Bear Creek trail about 6 times in the first 9 miles. It goes through a park where the trail is surrounded by fields of prairie dogs. The scenery around the golf course is very pretty.
We started at the trailhead in Superior and road to the Flagg Creek trailhead. This is a really well maintained, mostly gravel, trail. It winds around a number of neighborhoods and through many open spaces with really interesting views of houses AND the front range mountains. It follows a river crossing it many times. There were only a few road crossings with most of the trail having underpasses with no need to deal with traffic. All in all, a really fun ride!
It's a road with a 30mph speed limit, lots of cross streets and awful sidewalks with countless blind driveways. Did I mention that for over a mile there is no bike lane and the road is too narrow to let cars pass safely without crossing the double-yellow?
You're forced to take it from time to time, but no one would seek this out. I can only assume that this trail designation is someone's idea of a joke.
Huge improvements to the far northern end of the trail especially north of Colfax Ave. A bike/pedestrian bridge now carries the trail over I-70 to the Green Valley Ranch neighborhood. The city of Aurora has added numerous trail maps. The only thing preventing a 5-star rating are too many road crossings, some of which can be difficult.
Nice trail for a lunch time walk. Not worth commuting to. Walked in early spring so not too green yet. I’m sure it gorgeous during summer!
