To reach White Ranch Park take Highway 93 north from Golden approximately 1 mile to Golden Gate Canyon Road. Turn left (west) traveling 4.1 miles to Crawford Gulch Road (Highway 57). Follow the signs to White Ranch Park. Campers should park their vehicles in the larger, lower parking lot at the west trailhead, not in the smaller lot just as you enter the park.
Somewhat hidden park. We found this because other parks closer to the city of Golden were jam packed. I think this park is a great place for hiking and biking. We hiked around 3 miles and the path is very easy. It’s mostly service road type with a few single trails. We encountered some people throughout but overall not crowded once you are on the trails. Parking was on the full side but with the size of the park you don’t notice it once you’re outside of the vehicle. Views are amazing. You can see in all directions.
Amazing fall colors, beautiful 3 and a half hour hike with a buddy of mine.
