From Golden Gate Canyon to Winter Park, most of these trails are close to Denver.
There are a lot of benefits to hiking or snowshoeing in the winter: fewer people on the trails for starters, along with hibernating bugs and wildlife so you don’t have to contend with them, and the benefits of intense exercise.
For ideal winter hiking, you want to avoid trails that are getting a lot of sun as they might get icy or muddy. With the proper gear, such as microspikes attached to your boots, a trail that holds snow is best. Hiking basics like water, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a safety plan are still essentials in winter, along with the warmer layers you’ll be wearing. Hiking poles can be helpful when hiking in winter to test the depth of snow and to help you tackle inclines.
Dogs are allowed only on the Brainard Lake and Left Hand Park Reservoir roads in winter. Fees are not required in winter.While considered difficult, thanks to the undulating hills , this trail does have some relatively flat stretches. A thick forest of evergreen trees makes this trail particularly pretty after a fresh snowfall.

Leaked report about Colorado Springs shooter to be discussedA judge was set to consider Wednesday whether authorities should be punished after the media obtained documents showing detailed allegations about the suspect in the Colorado gay nightclub shooting previously plotting to be “the next mass killer' in an old case that was sealed at the time. Lawyers for Anderson Aldrich, who is charged with killing five people and wounding 17 others at Club Q in Colorado Springs in November, accuse the El Paso County Sheriff's Office of leaking documents in the old case to the media. In 2021, Aldrich, who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, was arrested after their grandparents told authorities that Aldrich threatened to kill them after becoming upset about their plans to move and get in the way of Aldrich's alleged plan to stockpile guns, ammunition, body armor and a homemade bomb.
