Description

From the trailhead, you immediately begin climbing for about 1.3 mi to the trail's termination at an intersection with Mt. Galbraith Loop & Nightbird Gulch Trail.

The terrain varies from a moderate incline, to steep and smooth singletrack to short rocky sections. Make sure you don't miss the views of Golden, Denver, and the plains off to the east as you ascend.

There's a tiny bit of forest right before you come upon the Mt. Galbraith Loop intersection.
