Green Mountain Winter Hike + Post-Hike Social @ Green Mountain Brewery
Details
Meeting Spot: Green Mountain – Hayden Park Trailhead (Lakewood, CO)
### 🌄 About the Hike
Let’s soak up some winter sunshine and get outside before the holidays. We’re doing the Green Mountain Loop — a hike with open mesa terrain, great views of the city and foothills, and manageable winter-weather conditions.
We’ll go easy-to-moderate pace and enjoy the scenery! This one should be good for all skill levels. I would bring spikes!

### 🔎 Trail Details
- Distance: ~4 miles (loop)
- Elevation Gain: ~700 ft
- Estimated Time: ~2–2.5 hours
- Why It Works in Winter: Open terrain gets good sun exposure, so trails tend to stay less icy than wooded areas. Just bring traction gear if things get slippery.
After Hike Hangout: Green Mountain Brewery

- This spot has a low-key vibe, rotating food trucks, indoor + outdoor seating, and a huge selection of beers.
