Mount Galbraith Park

Great first day hike to get acclamated to the elevation. Nice warm day, lots of hikers hitting the trail. 👍

Very doable hike but do be ready for the many areas of rocky trail. You find ample parking at the trailhead and gorgeous views.

I would rate this an intermediate/medium level trail simply because of the jagged rock ascents in a few areas. It was a great hike overall, I did the whole thing in under 3 hours and I took a LOT of breaks because it was pretty toasty outside and not many clouds out. Plenty of critters like butterflies, lizards, birds, and bugs; and a lot of pretty wildflowers and rock formations. Worth the hike if you have a few hours to spare over here.

Great hike. It's definitely a steeper climb some places with rocks, but that made it fun. Beautiful mountain views with a 30 drive from Denver area. Quick 4 mile loop or 5 depending on the trails you take. Lots of fun

This was one of my favorite hikes we did on Colorado. It's within a 10 minute drive of Golden which makes it very convenient. We got there around 6:45am since I read the parking lot fills up early. We got a spot, but the parking lot was full along with cars being parked halfway down the street when we got back. We hiked the Cedar Gulch Trail to the Mount Galbraith Loop Trail. It was 4 miles total. The hike had gorgeous views even with the haze from wildfires. It was also pretty easy. I think I saw that it was rated moderate and I would put it on the easier side of moderate. Earlier in the morning, almost everyone we passed had a mask on (and there weren't many people). By the time we were almost done and it was getting more crowded, most of the newcomers were not wearing masks. The weather was perfect for us since we left early. It wasn't hot yet and I didn't need sunscreen. There was definitely a lot of sunny parts of the trail though. We even saw a baby rattlesnake towards the end of our hike. If you're looking for a relatively easy hike with amazing views, it doesn't get much better than this.
