Our Favorite trails
Green mountain is our closest trail system! Minutes to the trailhead through our neighborhood gully! Fantastic trail running, mountain biking, and hiking with unbelievable views of Denver skyline, red rocks, and the entire front range. Local tip for walking to trailhead - leaving the air bnb, take a left on Montana and then first right onto Deframe. At the end of the court, you will see gully trail that leads up to Alameda Ave. Trailhead is right across the highway. Be careful as cars go fast here and there is no crosswalk.

Mount Falcon Park
Castle TrailLess than 15 minute drive to great views of the red rocks.
Great trail in Golden. The first part is a heart racer uphill battle but then you get to run, bike, hike on the mesa - what feels like the top of the world or another planet.

Don’t miss the enchanted forest trail. Great for experienced mountain bikers. Jefferson County (Jeffco) has designated even days as bikers only on some of these trails which is comforting going down enchanted direction.

In our opinion, the best ice cream in the area. Locations in Denver and Boulder. Definitely try the pretzel cone if you’re looking for a savory balance to the utter sweetness of these creative recipes.
