Very cool trail! It's in Golden, right off 6th and 19th. You park in the parking lot right off 6th and it's a short walk to the start of the trail. The trail itself is only half mile or so each way. You can see rain droplets, trex foot prints, triceratops footprints and leaf impressions too. The end of it is right at the golf course. Beautiful views of golden and north table. Definitely check it out!

This was so much fun!!! We were looking for a quick walk just before dinner and we definitely found a gem. Now that being said, parking is beyond weird. You will hear highway noise. And I think with lack of funding it’s become quite over grown. However, it’s definitely worth the visit! I would like to note: It’s also easy for those with little kiddos or out of shape. We went just a few weeks post surgery and it was very doable. Couple hills but nothing too bad or strenuous especially for Colorado.

Wow! Can't believe how accessible this site is. Park in Lot A, there's a sign on the side closest to route 6 pointing toward the trailhead

Yes. The trail is open year round. Stopping at the visitors center in Golden on washington and 10th will get you more up to date information.
