Denver’s proximity to the Rocky Mountains makes it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, and winter presents a unique opportunity to experience the snowy landscapes. While some trails might be inaccessible due to heavy snowfall, many options offer stunning scenery and a chance to embrace the beauty of the winter wonderland.

Here are some of the top picks for snowy trails near Denver, catering to different difficulty levels and preferences:

For the Easy Explorer:

  • Lake Ladora and Lake Mary Loop Trail: This 2.7-mile loop in Commerce City is perfect for a leisurely stroll, offering scenic views of the surrounding plains. The mostly flat terrain makes it suitable for families and casual hikers.

  • Coyote Song Trail: Located in Littleton, this 3-mile loop is another excellent option for easy exploration. The trail meanders through a cottonwood forest, providing a peaceful escape close to the city.

For the Moderate Mountaineer:

  • Meadowlark Plymouth Creek and Plymouth Mountain Trail Loop: This 6-mile loop in Littleton offers a moderate challenge with an elevation gain of over 1,300 feet. The trail rewards hikers with breathtaking views of both the city and the mountains.

  • Chief Mountain Trail: Nestled in Evergreen, this 2.8-mile out-and-back trail provides stunning vistas and opportunities for wildlife viewing. Be prepared for some snowy sections and potential icy spots.

  • Mount Falcon Castle Loop Trail: Located southwest of Denver, this 7.4-mile loop offers a moderate challenge with historical charm. Hike past the remnants of a stone castle and enjoy panoramic views of the foothills.

For the Experienced Adventurer:

  • Mount Galbraith Loop via the Cedar Gulch Trail: This challenging 8-mile loop near Golden offers breathtaking alpine scenery and stunning views of the surrounding peaks. Be prepared for steeper inclines and potentially deep snow in certain sections.

  • Herman Gulch Trail: This 5-mile out-and-back trail in Arapaho National Forest is a popular choice for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter. The trail leads to a beautiful lake nestled amidst towering pines.

Remember, safety is paramount when venturing into snowy conditions. Always check the latest weather forecast and trail conditions before heading out. Dress appropriately in layers, wear proper footwear with good traction, and be prepared for changing weather patterns.

With a little planning and the right preparation, you can enjoy a memorable winter adventure on one of Denver’s many snowy trails. Happy exploring!
