Description

Green Mountain provides some nice riding for less experienced riders, or folks wanting to get in a quick workout without too much technical riding. This trail starts/ends below the radio tower and at the junction with Rooney Valley trail. It provides great views of Denver, Golden, and the mountains. It isn't very technical, but has a good bit of chunky rocks.

In winter or wet weather, this trail is often one of the last to dry out.

The top of the climb rewards you with calming views of the front range, catch your breath though the downhill sarts here.

Fun little trail with some great views of the Front Range. Don't ride it during high winds.
