OUTDOOR

PC: Becca Helbraun (via AllTrails)

HIKE: Clear Creek, Grant Ferry Trails Loop

⛰️ Clear Creek History Park | 25 min from Denver | Moderate | FREE | Route 

2.8-mile loop trail near Golden, Colorado. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 1 hour to complete. The trail is mostly paved with some hard-pack gravel too and is a very popular area for road biking, running, and walking. In the summer people will tube the river and utilize the path to walk up to the best rafting entry point. Consider hitting the Golden Mill for an array of foods and beverages after your walk! Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash.

Weather Report: ⛅ 50° high this weekend in Golden, Colorado
