Hike the Blue Grouse Trail Loop

Golden, Colorado

3.0

6 mi / 400 ft gain

Start the hike at the Blue Grouse Trailhead located next to Kriley Pond. Travel along Blue Grouse Trail for 0.7 miles until you reach a fork in the trail at Mule Trail where you will take a right. Along the Mule Trail you will travel up a series of switch backs before the trail levels out and you pass the Rim Meadow first on your right. Continue along Mule Trail until you reach Coyote Trail and...

Hike Beaver Trail in Golden Gate Canyon State Park

Golden, Colorado

2.3 mi / 1046 ft gain

This trail starts off at Slough Pond, a great fishing pond or picnic spot. The trail starts out tree-covered. After a few tenths of a mile you have the choice to go clockwise or counter-clockwise. If you go counter-clockwise you have about 3/4 of a mile of steep uphill hiking to do (the Park rates this trail as "most difficult"), but then it's all downhill from there. If you go clockwise, you'l...

Hike the Elk Range Trail

Golden, Colorado

2.5

This is an incredible and beautiful hike that is just off of Route 6 but feels a million miles away. Drive up Douglas Mountain Road for the west park access (and I do mean UP - it's a quick elevation gain), and you'll run right into the Centennial Cone Park entrance. There is a bathroom and a decent amount of parking, especially when you're one of the only people on the trail like I was! This t...

Hike St. Mary's Glacier

Idaho Springs, Colorado

4.3

2 mi / 467 ft gain

Just West of Idaho Springs on I-70 take the St. Mary's Alice Exit. Take a right and stay on the main road and follow the signs for about 8 miles (watch on the right side of the road for a surprise pink pig). There are two parking lots for the trailhead. The larger one is South of the trail and a smaller one North, both of which require a $5 parking permit. We parked at the South lot and there a...

Snowshoe to Squaw Mountain Fire Lookout

Idaho Springs, Colorado

4.0

4.75 mi / 1200 ft gain

Come check out the Squaw Mountain Fire Lookout, a historic spot located in the Mount Evans Wilderness Area of Colorado, and one of the highest lookout towers in the country, at an elevation of 11,486 ft. Just a short drive from the Front Range corridor, you can hike/backpack in to this lookout area. The Civilian Conservation Corp constructed this lookout and it remains an active communication t...

Hiking James Peak (13,294')

Idaho Springs, Colorado

8.3 mi / 3000 ft gain

James Peak is one of 76 13,000'+ peaks in Colorado's front range. On your way up to the peak you will pass St. Mary's Glacier. It is not an actual glacier yet a permeant snow field that is popular among skiers and snowboarders year round. St. Mary's Glaicer is a very popular destination (though most do not continue past the snowfield) so make sure you arrive early to guarantee a parking spot.Fr...
