HIKE: Bear Creek and Mount Carbon Trail Loop
⛰️ Bear Creek Lake Regional Park | 25 min from Denver | Moderate | $10 Entry Fee | Route
6.7-mile loop trail near Morrison, Colorado. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, with 450 feet of elevation gain, it takes an average of 2 hours and 15 min to complete. This trail is great for hiking and running as it is a paved trail most of the route. A few lakes with benches to stop and rest and great views of the foothills. Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash.
Weather Report: ☀️ 72° high this weekend in Morrison, Colorado
