Everything is very good except because in some parts there are homeless people sitting or lying on the road where it is supposed to be for bicycle traffic!
Road from Fraser to Winter park. Parked next to local center. Crossed the street and headed south. It’s a couple of blocks of riding on crosswalk then you hit the trail. Trail is beautiful. It’s like riding in a forest with a river running through it. Very relaxing. Highly recommend. Some nice photo ops.
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.
The path is well paved and smooth. It’s right next to the road the entire time, so it’s too loud.
We only road from the historic park in Dillon to Keystone. I must admit, my favorite section was the small portion that went to Keystone as we were further from highways, closer to the creek and in more shade. 70° in CO feels more like the 80° in TN due to altitude. Breeze off the lake was great and good views Overall, I enjoyed the trail but was amazed at the number of people in both directions. Luckily there was at least one coffee/ sandwich shop open in Keystone. Sorry we missed the bluegrass festival this past weekend.
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.
We did 15 miles starting by the Chilson rec center and went west all the way to the end by Oxbow missing the bridge that goes under 34. We then crossed under 34 to Mehaffey Park. Had a nice picnic break there and turned back. It was a great ride.
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.
