Today my wife and I were running some errands down in town (Arvada to be specific) and afterward we felt like taking a gentle walk. We knew we were close to the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt along Clear Creek so we drove along Wadsworth south of I-70 and we noticed a somewhat hidden park entrance. The park was called Johnson Park and sure enough the greenbelt trail ran right through the park.
We hiked about 1.5 miles west along the greenbelt, passing another park along the way with skating terrain. Then it began storming badly and we were quite soaked by the time we made it back to the car. There are a couple of shelters along the path so we stopped into those to rest as we were running back to the car.
This section of the greenbelt trail isn’t terribly interesting but it was a fun walk nonetheless. Of course at this time of year Clear Creek is a raging rapid so that was kinda neat.
