Green Mountain Open Space

From time-to-time I'll use the is space to make notes on hikes we've particularly enjoyed.

Green Mountain Open Space is approximately 10 miles West of downtown Denver. There are a great many trails to the top where one can get a great view of downtown Denver. The route shown in black in this graphic is the trail I chose. Called Rooney Valley Trail, the route winds along the lower portion of the open space and then heads uphill (!) through Rooney Valley.

Most people choose one of the more travelled routes (shown in red). The route I chose took me about 2 hours from parking lot to top and back.
