This was another hike from60 Hikes within 60 miles. It was a nice pleasant hike I’d do again. I’d like to explore some of the off trails in the future because the scenery is exactly what you’d expect from a mountain trail.
Seldom visited, Golden Gate Canyon State Park is just outside Golden and 25 miles west of Denver. The park offers a few large loop trails, and rangers at the visitor center recommended this one. Mountain Lion Trail is a rugged mountain trail with great views that offer hikers plenty of solitude.
