A true experience. While a bit pricey it is really neat. We recommend trying to go at the "slowest" of times (usually Monday and Tuesday mornings and later evenings) to take your time and enjoy.

Red Rocks Park is home of the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater and some great hiking trails. When visitors to Denver are looking for a trail close to the city, my top recommendation is always the Trading Post Trail at Red Rocks. It’s a 1.4 mile loop surrounded by red rock formations. In the Spring and early Summer, the clash of reds and greens makes this the best short hike near Denver. While the Trading Post Trail is a short and easy hike, the shaded sections can get icy in the winter, so be sure to mind the trail. Explore the full trail profile with more details and resources at our Trading Post Trail at Red Rocks trail profile. If there is no event on the day of your visit climbing the amphitheater is a fun challenge as well.

The Clear Creek Trail is an 18-mile trail that connects with the South Platte River Trail. You can ride all the way from Denver to Golden, a fun, western town that was Colorado’s first capital city. Starting just north of where I-76 passes over the South Platte River, this long, paved trail parallels Clear Creek. It passes through neighborhoods, industrial areas, parks and greenways along the way. Among them are Lowell Ponds State Wildlife Area, Anderson Park, the giant Coors Brewery and North Table Mountain Park. As a foothills ride, the elevation rises towards Golden and the mountains and foothill buttes come into view. Highlights
Golden: A quaint western town and home to the Colorado School of Mines as well as the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden was Colorado's first capital city. There are plenty of bike shops, outdoor stores and more in the city. Along its main street, Washington Avenue, you’ll still walk under covered walkways and on plank board sidewalks as you find plenty of restaurants and cafes with outdoor patios, ice cream shops and local breweries. Traveling a little farther up Clear Creek, you’ll find the Golden History Park and interpretive site, a park showing Golden’s pioneering and mining history. It’s paralleled by an award-winning whitewater park in Clear Creek.
Coors Brewery: The largest single-site brewery in the world and the only place that’s made Coors’ beers is just east of Golden’s downtown. Visitors can stop in for a tour and tastes.
Colorado Railroad Museum : The largest railroad museum in the state, it has more than 50 locomotives and train cars celebrating the vehicles and narrow-gauge railroads that helped make and transform Colorado and Golden. The museum hosts family-friendly events and train rides throughout the year.
American Mountaineering Center: The Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Center houses the American Mountaineering Museum—the only U.S. museum dedicated to mountaineering. It celebrates the history of mountaineering and the science and arts inspired by mountaineering. It also explores climate science and mountain cultures around the world.
North Table Mountain, South Table Mountain, Green Mountain: The buttes and mountains surrounding Golden make it a gateway to more wild adventures. Each features hiking and some challenging mountain biking trails, offering a chance to immerse yourself in the landscape, plus sweeping views of the Rockies and the Denver metro area.
Lookout Mountain and the Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave : West of Golden is one of Colorado’s most iconic road biking climbs, the Lariat Loop on Lookout Mountain. This calf-killing climb winds up the face of Lookout Mountain, passes the giant, illuminated “M” on the mountain—placed by Colorado School of Mines students—and eventually ends up at the Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave, the final resting place of the legendary showman.

Though paved today, the 36-plus-mile South Platte River Trail has been used for eons—first by Native Americans and then by settlers, well before Denver even had a name. Not surprisingly, the trail follows along the South Platte River, extending north to Brighton and south to Chatfield State Park.
As the trail winds through Denver it becomes known as the Mary Carter Greenway Trail and the Colorado Historical Society commemorates some of this history with signage along the trail, explaining the human and natural history of the land, its geology and wildlife inhabitants.
Highlights
Confluence Park area: The trail is close to parks and lakes and has easy access from roads and ramps throughout Denver, so you can easily plan where you’ll get on or off the path for a picnic to enjoy the sites or take on other adventures. At Confluence Park, where Denver was founded, the trail joins with the Cherry Creek Trail. You can check out all sorts of things, like kayakers frolicking in the whitewater park.
Other activities near here include the Downtown Aquarium , Children's Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus and Empower Field at Mile High . If you need to get some new parts for your bike, you can stop at the Denver REI Flagship.
