Welcome to the Denver Orbital Trail or DOT for short. 177 miles of trails that circumnavigate Denver metro broken up into 28 segments. It was created from existing trails, parks and greenways. Most are dog friendly and bike friendly but always check current rules and regulations before you begin any hike. The segments vary in length from 2-12 miles long. Most segments are easy to moderate but there are a few strenuous sections as well. 

This segment runs from Downtown Golden to Apex Park Parking Lot. Begin along Clear Creek Trail through the heart of Golden, Colorado. Climb Lookout Mountain and descend through the rolling mountain meadows of Apex Park. Parking at the summit may allow you to split this tough segment in two easier portions.

Difficulty: Very Strenuous

Length:11.2 miles.

Congrats to Knyte7 for the Ftf!

WOO-HOO! My very first find in this cool new DOT series of hides that published recently. The puppy and I enjoyed a short stroll down by the creek and found this one without issue. After waiting out a few muggle walkers we added our name to the log and replaced as found. Off to the next one on the list, TFTC!
