I spent many, many hours on this trail in college to escape the city and connect with nature for a quick hike. There are tons of different trails that connect to Green Mountain that you can take to create your own adventure. All that being said, in the past year or so it seems to be mainly mountain bikers up here. There are still times where I haven't run into too many but I tried to run an early Saturday morning and was constantly having to step off trail for bikers and I eventually turned around a few miles in.

I love having this trail so close to where I live. There are interconnecting trails all the way around and I visit frequently so I mix it up by choosing different paths each time. Being that it's so close to Denver it's a great place for that week night trail run or hike. You'd be surprised how much wildlife you can see here since it's very close to residential neighborhoods. But I've seen deer, coyotes, rabbits, and rattlesnakes. Watch out for the rattlesnakes, they love it here in summer.

Due to recent snowmelt the trails were a muddy mess...we found ourselves sinking inches into the muck and my dog was a mess at the end. Regardless, the views of Denver on the horizon were unbeatable.

Summit Loop was pretty muddy/snowy today. The Green Mountain Trail was much drier. All trails have great views of the mountains and city but I prefer my trails with some trees (none at all).

I decided to sneak out of the office for an afternoon hike and escaped away to this trail. It was a great experience. The trails are well maintained and vary in difficulty and grade, with different options available along the way. I completed a 3-mile loop with a pretty steep grade on the way up. You share the trails with those on bikes, so keep your eyes and ears open. It was pretty active when I visited, but parking was available. The only downside concerns pet owners. There were several dog waste bags carelessly left along the trails. Although I appreciate pet owners being responsible by picking up after their furry friends, I would also hope they'd properly dispose of the bags. All in all, definitely a must do if you're in the Lakewood area.

This is by far one of my favorite places to go around Denver for an after-work adventure. There are many different trails to the top so you can make it different just about every time you come here. The views from the top are some of the best around because you can see downtown Denver to the east and Red Rocks to the west! If you really want to elevate your experience then come here in early summer (late May/early June) to hike among all the wildflowers. Be sure to stick around to watch a sunset from the top, you won't regret it!

Nice singletrack, beautiful views of Denver and the mountains, and lots of elevation gain make this one of the best trail-systems in the city. Green Mountain doesn't have trees so it can get pretty windy as well as hot in the summer. If there's recent snowmelt or rain the trails are a sloppy mess.
