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.
Our family took a springtime bike ride on the southern section of the South Boulder Creek Trail from the Bobolink Trailhead on Baseline Road south to just beyond the US 36 underpass (roughly 3 miles one way). It was a pleasant outing with gorgeous mountain views and rural countryside. We saw a few birds, a couple horses, and lots of cows (including calves). The trail surface was a mix of pavement and crushed stone; both well maintained. On a sunny Saturday afternoon, we saw lots of other bikers, joggers, dogwalkers, and families out enjoying the trail.
Beautiful trail . We saw a pack of bighorn sheep grazing 10 feet off the trail. The trail is closed near the No Name rest area. No indication of why or how long it is closed.
Wonderful trail with plenty of room and some great views to the west. Just walked it for the first time since the pass over the train tracks was finished and enjoyed the new addition. Would certainly recommend!
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.
The people of Grand Junction are blessed with a great trail and park system. The Colorado River Trail is smooth and meanders like the river. The sights are beautiful as long as you keep your eyes to the west. But, no one mentions the segmented gaps in the trail. We were riding a section east of downtown and the trail ended abruptly. There was no guidance on how to connect with the trail again to continue east. I concluded that I would need to ride a little on the road but was not familiar enough to take a chance. Some signage would be nice.
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 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.
