Customer Reviews
This place is breathtaking! Great for hikers and climbers of all skill levels. A great place to sit and relax next to the river.
Visited 7.16.2022: I'm so happy I picked this trail/system/park by CHANCE! Ubered from my motel in Denver and started walking toward the hills. It was so stunning, perfect weather, seeing groundhogs (?), horses, everyone out running with dogs, rock climbing, slowly hearing the river get closer. I lost cell service down in the valley but a lovely shuttle driver helped me with directions, shared history of the park/area, drove me to Costco to get some food and phone service to get a ride back to the city. It was my first time hiking in Colorado and a dream come true, especially with the nice rain shower in the afternoon :D
Located between Golden and Boulder, west of the 93. Lots of rock formations and popular for rock climbing with very easy access. Do notice, area has seen rather snakes occasionally (not often, but still need to pay attention). There are at least two picnic area with 3 grill racks each capable hosting 24 peoples each on the side of creek. (Close to parking spots) First come first serve no reservation.
