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.
This trail is well paved and an excellent ride. The connection from Timnath to Windsor is not connected. Unless there’s an alt route it abruptly ends in a field. Being stubborn I powered through the field following pink land surveying markers. Since there is no bridge, I had to go down a dirt road and use a bridge to get to the other side of the water. The dirt road turns to thick, hard to ride grass, and found myself riding through an oil rig site. From there I took the dirt road to the street. The street, going left, leads to a lake and greenway, the first right you can take. There’s some construction Windsor after the park and to navigate toward Greeley you have to take some street. Unless I’m mistaken the path is not complete. As soon as it is this is a must ride! Stopped at Luna’s Tacos in Windsor and great halfway rest drink and grub spot.
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.
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!
Been walking parts of this trail daily for weeks. It’s a nice, clean, safe and quiet area to walk and ride bikes.
