Bear Creek Trail Details
This flat, leisurely 9-mile trail is a scenic route for anyone looking to escape the bustle of city life. After leaving downtown Denver, you’ll wind through forests, meadows, and woodlands next to Beer Creek as you make your way towards Morrison. The first part of the ride is a little more urban, although the shaded trees protect you from unsightly views of shopping malls and commercial buildings. However, you will soon come across Bear Creek Lake Park and Bear Creek Greenbelt where you can relax a bit more in nature while you enjoy the serene natural beauty of the land.
