Home Easy Hikes Mt. Galbraith Balloon Loop
Mt. Galbraith Balloon Loop Print

The main feature of this easy foothills hike: the views!   There is no better place to get a sense of the topography of the Golden area, than from the vistas along this trail.  Then you round a bend and are blown away by the distant views of Mt. Evans.  This trail is narrow in places with some impressive dropoffs and some rocky ledge crossings, but overall it's very easy.  It's a fairly exposed trail with a few short jaunts under the cover of trees.  Total length is 4.3 miles and it took me about 2 hours of casual walking to complete it.
