RMOTHG Trip – Deer Creek Canyon Park - Plymouth Mountain

This two-loop hike to the top of Plymouth Mountain starts at the Deer Creek Canyon TH in SW Denver (Littleton). It's a great uphill workout with scenic and expansive views of the city. We'll start on the Meadowlark Trail, then Plymouth Creek Trail to Plymouth Mountain Trail - then continue on Plymouth Mountain Trail circling back on the East side. Some steep, rocky sections.
