Trails
Trail closest to the house: Clear Creek Trail. This is a mostly paved trail that is close to 20 miles in length. When you hop on it north of this house, where Otis St. dead ends, you can take it west into the city of Golden. If you travel east, you can take it to a network of trails to go lots of different directions. Whether you take it east or west, you’ll travel by lakes, parks, nature preserves, more industrial areas, and some residential areas, too. It is generally flat with occasional small hills. You can locate the trailhead by taking Pierce north until it deadends at 48th Ave. Go right (East) 1 block to Otis St., then take a left on Otis St which immediately becomes a downhill and leads straight to the trailhead. You can’t miss it - this trailhead is easy to find. West to Golden or East to many trails.
