Golden Gate Canyon State Park: Raccoon Loop Trail

Boulder - Denver - Golden - Fort Collins - Lyons

The Raccoon Loop Trail circles through Golden Gate Canyon State Park’s upper-montane and lower subalpine forests, an ecological transition zone shared by lodgepole pine, Engelmann spruce, blue spruce, white fir, limber pine and aspen. The trailhead at Panorama Point is a worthy destination itself, a well-positioned gazebo that overlooks a 100 mile stretch of the Continental Divide. A newly renovated pavilion provides useful peak-identification maps and area information. The trail is also accessible from the Reverend's Ridge Campground.
