This hike forms a double loop mostly south of the trailhead. The steepest climb is 12% on the Belcher Hill Trail, but it is early in the hike, and we will be rewarded by great views.
The carpool expense for each car making the round tip from the Clear Creek Parking Lot to the White Ranch West Trailhead is $8 to be divided by the number of passengers (including the driver).
We will meet at the Clear Creek Parking Lot, 304 10th Street, Golden. The parking lot is located north of 10th Street between Archer and Vasquez Streets. Please arrive by 8:30 am.
Required Equipment
