I've ridden my bike along this trail many times in the last year. It's been fun to see so many different neighborhoods in Arvada. We usually start near the Kaiser building on Sheridan and ride west to Five Parks. Out and back it ends up being about 14 miles. Typically, there are not many bikes on the trail just runners and dog walkers. There are a few shady spots along the way but wear sunscreen as you are exposed quite a bit. The only "bad part" of the trail is crossing Wadsworth at 77th Dr and having to ride around Natural Grocers and Target. It can be quite busy there but luckily it's only a 1/2 mile stretch. The trail is in decent condition but could use some TLC in spots. Over all, a good place to get a quick ride in after work.
I have ridden this trail in its entirety hundreds of times in the last 20 years and appreciate some of the widening that has been done in some of high traffic areas. However, over the last year two bridges have been closed, and most recently another section has been closed east of Federal Blvd. One of the detours utilizes bike/pedestrian and is a minor inconvenience. The other two detours route you on side streets and then narrow sidewalks along busy 4 lane roads. If/when these issues are resolver it will go back to being one of my favorite routs, but until then I am avoiding it.
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 enjoyed the northern tip of the Signal Ditch Trail on an early September ride. It was a pleasant neighborhood setting beginning from Thornton's Fallbrook Park. The journey included views of large cottonwoods, bright sunflowers, and the Rocky Mountains in the distance.
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.
Started a second time at Duckwood & rode down to the closed bridge, then north 5 miles before turning back. Wanted to do the full length but we lost too much time with the earlier start point. This portion of the trail is in constant use and great condition. Will absolutely be back to get the full ride north!
Tried to ride the full length starting at the south access point just south of the vacant office building. The trail is becoming overgrown, then blocked by a massive deadfall tree, which leads to some bushwhacking, just to find the trail no longer connects to the bridge due to river erosion. Rode back out to the road and our car on the access road just north of the abandoned office building.
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.
