♥ I read there is no time to be bored in a world as beautiful as this to #explore. Life is meant for spectacular #adventures, your feet allowed to wander, your eyes to marvel, and your soul ignited. Hiking is the one thing that ties pretty and dirty and beautiful and wild all at once.
Mayhem Gulch and Juniper Loop Trail is one of the best routes of the Centennial Cone Park near Golden. Initially on the main trail up, you may see a lot of bikes but once you come to the crossroads for Mayhem Gulch and Juniper Loop, it becomes open space providing #solitude. While it is considered an easy trail at 4.7 miles, I think the incline is more moderate level unless you have your cardio down. Also if you bring pups, expect little to no shade on this trail. The view from the top is pretty and even moreso if you catch a sunset.
This is also a mixed-use trail meaning that you can hike on odd numbered weekend days and even numbered days are strictly for biking. Make sure to confirm so you don't face any fines for the hiking the wrong days. Plenty of parking at the trail head, along with clean restroom and there is access to Clear Creek.
My chubby chipmunk cheeks are happy and my butt cheeks perky. You gotta hike because no one raps about little butts. Besides, this workout is only 6% of my day. Feels so good to up my hiking game.
