This is one of the premier mountain biking spots in the Denver area and also offers hikers and trail runners a forested and creek side trail.
This trailhead starts at the top, so it would make for an excellent shuttle ride. The drive between the west and east trailhead is about 15 mins, so it's an easy shuttle.
The best part is that hikers and bikers get their own separate days! Please check below to decide when to go! As major parts of the trails will be closed to you.
Even Calendar Dates (2nd, 4th, etc.) = Bikes only
• Odd Calendar Dates (1st, 3rd, etc.) = Hikers only

A stream runs alongside a trail in part of the park, and a dense forest provides shady areas on the west end. This park is popular for mountain biking as it offers more technical trails and a steep challenge up Lookout Mountain.
