From the newly updated Norman D Park, we will follow the extended Tucker Gulch trail under Hwy 93, visit the historic Brickyard House, and wander along the classic Hogback Ridge in North Golden. We will traverse time, from a multi-use trail completed in 2015 to a a Foursquare Romanesque brick house built in the early 1900's to a geologic structure (the Dakota hogback) created millions of years ago ...

We'll begin near the parking lot by making introductions and starting the walk NO LATER than 5 after the hour. The walk will take about an hour.

We do take the weather into account on this walk, as it is exposed. Check back in. Please be sure to RSVP so we can notify you in the event the trip is cancelled unexpectedly. Thank you! Feel free to contact walking trip host (Rhiannon at 720.261.3868) if you have questions!
