Golden Eagle Trail to Bill Couch Mountain

02/28/23

This trail is so close to Denver but feels so far away. There is a very large parking area at this Jefferson County open space with clean bathrooms and garbage cans. The trails are easy to follow but make sure to check the map to see which ones you have to take. We went on a gloomy day and it made it even more special. The top of Bill Couch mountain is small but it feels like a big accomplishment. Fun trail! The bottom can get really muddy.

The short loop is only a 495 foot climb over 2....

The 5.1 mile loop starts at the parking lot and climbs up to and th...
