What To Expect
This 18 mile loop begins at the Apex Park Trailhead just south of Golden. From there, you ascend into the Lakota Hills neighborhood, a scenic climb with wide streets and foothill views, eventually linking up to Lookout Mountain Road. This stretch offers a steady climb and dramatic vistas over the plains and Golden below.
Rather than summiting Lookout, the route loops around and descends into the Clear Creek area, joining the paved Clear Creek Trail for a refreshing, downhill ride along the creek — a popular stretch with cyclists, runners, and kayakers.
You then turn north and climb again to Norman D. Park, a peaceful high point with mountain views, before descending into Downtown Golden. The ride passes the Coors Brewery and the Jefferson County Government Center, tying together Golden’s natural beauty and civic landmarks.
The loop finishes back at Apex Park, having covered varied terrain — mountain roads, bike paths, hills, and town streets — all with the ease and thrill of an e-bike.
