The Spring Brook Loop is a great introduction to mountain biking in Colorado’s Front Range, offering a mix of technical challenges and awesome views. The trail features a series of rocky step-ups, rolling singletrack, and winding paths through forests. The ride is mostly sun-exposed, so pacing water is important, and the trail is shared and popular with hikers, runners, and other bikers. Highlights include the descent through Doudy Draw and the twisty, wooded sections of the Spring Brook Loop. The trail loops back, offering expansive views of the Flatirons before returning to the starting point.

Green Mountain peak in Lakewood, Colorado, welcomes a lot of mountain bikers every day, to its well-trodden trails. The recent rains have adorned the terrain with vibrant greenery. While the mountain biking terrain is relatively easy, the steep, strenuous ascent promises a rewarding workout. Beware of icy patches in the winter, but the breathtaking peak views make it all worthwhile.

William Frederick Hayden Park, also known as Green Mountain, is a mesa. It is more than 2,400 acres of open space, making it the second largest in Lakewood district.

Bear Creek Lake Park is a relatively large trail system at the base of the mountains near Morrison. The trails are very popular with bikers, hikers, and people walking to the lakes to fish. You can often find xc mountain bike races here in the spring! These trails are not very technical compared to trails a little deeper in the mountains, so they are great for beginners!

The Lefthand Trailhead is the main access point for a popular system of mountain biking trails on the eastern end of Lefthand Canyon. More of a large pullout than a true trailhead with a parking lot, there are no bathrooms, picnic area, or water stations here. There are restroom facilities just a little down the road east of here at Buckingham Park if you need them.
