What we're about
Welcome, Active Outdoors Fans!
The Denver Trail Heads is a group for people with a wide array of interests in the outdoors. We will be hiking, snowshoeing, camping, cross country skiing, etc. Occasionally you will see a backpack or camping trip or an overnight at one of the many Forest Service cabins.
Our goal is to provide a safe, fun environment for ALL to enjoy outdoor activities, regardless of:
• Age
• Gender
• National Origin
• Race
• Religion
• Sexual Orientation
To date, we have hosted over 2,300 events. These trips were all made possible by our organizers. We work hard to organize trips and make them fun for you. The tone of an event is set by the organizer. Hiking speed, number of breaks, fitness level required, picture taking, dog-friendly, etc. Sometimes it is not as much the location or type of event, but who is running it that will determine if it is the event for you. More information about our organizers can be found here.
If you have an idea for a trip or you are interested in becoming an organizer, please let Paul and Bernard know. We are always looking for qualified organizers to help out!
Please RSVP yes only if you definitely plan to come. If you change your mind, please update your RSVP.
By joining this group you agree to the policies and terms of the group. The policies and terms can be found here.
We do not charge members a fee to join the group. However, donations are appreciated.
NOTE TO SOLICITORS; This is not a philanthropic, or marketing organization. Please do not contact us for such purposes.

I won’t be able to make this event and I wanted to keep the momentum going!
Have fun and I’ll see you next event.
We’re extending the time so those who can’t make the early time can come when they can.
Lets keep our fingers crossed for good weather and no wind!
Clement Park pickleball courts are located at the entrance off Bowles & Pierce St. near the tennis courts. If you pass Columbine High School, you’ve gone too far.
Let's continue to keep this with a fun spirit and not get too technical so those who have never played may get a chance to try it out.

Join Denver Trailheads for a brisk afternoon POWER WALK along the South Platte in Littleton. We will be pumping up your stride to burn calories, build strength and endurance.
We will meet at Reynold's Landing located near Breckenridge Brewery off Santa Fe (85). If anyone wants to gather afterwards for some grub and beverage, we can certainly do that if we have enough takers.
We will walk along the wide gravel trail to be clear of bicyclists, wear appropriate walking/running shoes and bring your own water.
I am sorry but FIDO IS NOT WELCOME ON THESE POWER WALKS as our focus will be on speed and we're not stopping for dogs to sniff, chase rabbits, squirrels or ducks or to poop or pee!
We will strive to maintain a 3.2 - 3.5 MPH Pace.
RSVP: Please update your RSVP status or text me at[masked] if you cannot make it so we are not waiting for you. We will wait only 5-7 minutes.
