The Clear Creek Trail through Downtown Golden has become increasingly popular in recent years and is considered a recreational destination for the Denver Metro area. The regional Peaks to Plains (P2P) Trail connecting Idaho Springs to Denver will be a major part of this popularity once complete.

The City is engaging with the Golden community to determine the best route for a ‘secondary route’ of the P2P Trail through Downtown Golden. A secondary route would help alleviate trail congestion and create a better trail experience for all users.

This analysis will outline project-specific and community goals, and leverage existing or anticipated funding to determine the construction feasibility of a secondary route. Learn more on Guiding Golden.
