Features Views

Formerly Sleeping Elk Trail.

Difficult and technical, but possible.

From Golden's eastern neighborhood, park on the street and walk up switchbacks and an unrelenting grade to more expansive views.

The trailhead starts at 18th and Belvedere. Most of the trail is hard packed earth with a some rocks embedded in the trail.

Pay attention to winds before heading up, this can be an extremely windy trail especially in the aforementioned steep and rocky section. It can act like a wind tunnel.

Most of this trail is exposed to the southeast without a lot of tall foliage. It does not provide much relief in the summer. It does dry out pretty quickly after a snow or rain.

There are several social trails that cross the main trail and there is no signage. Pay attention to where you want to go stay on the trails that look well maintained.
