| telemarkdude | Finally!  Date Climbed: Apr 13, 2013 | |
| I've been driving past this quick & easy hike for almost 20 years on my way to other ski and climbing trips in the Front Range. Stopped off today on my way home from a day of skiing and finally did it. What a view of the city; didn't realize just how expansive Denver is. | |

| belexes | Green Mountain & Hayden Trails Date Climbed: Mar 30, 2013 | |
| I was supposed to meet some other hikers at the Florida trailhead, but they never showed. So I took the Green Mountain Trail to the summit, then took the Hayden Trail back to the trailhead. The trail was muddy in spot thanks to last Saturday's snowstorm, but it was mostly fine. It was a nice day, sunny and a little windy. Quite a few bikers and hikers up there. | |

| Boriss Andean | Nice full moon and sunset over Denver. Date Climbed: Oct 12, 2011 | |
| Daniela and I got back to Green Mountain. Being just 10 minutes away from home it's the best place for us to go for a walk in the afternoon hours. We had the best sunsets and views of Denver from up there. | |

| colinpence | a great hike close to town | |
| I've done this several times, primarily as part of the "triathalon" with the hogback and Mt. Morrison. It's a good spot to get views of metro Denver. | |

| Sarah Simon | Forsberg / Iron Spring parking Date Climbed: May 22, 2011 | |
| Frustrated on summiting Colorado Mines and missing out of Flora, AGAIN, due to weather, AGAIN, I headed up Green Mountain to burn off some excess energy. I was not disappointed! This is a beautiful and singular mountain and reminded me quite a bit of the south Bay Area. Nice views, good hike. | |

| Scott | Green Date Climbed: Nov 18, 2008 | |
| January 26 2010 I was in Denver for a couple days, so I had time to do a night hike while in the area. SP member Steven Cross joined me for a climb of Green Mountain. We left one car at the west end of the Green Mountain Trail and one car at a small trailhead off Alameda Avenue. After figuring out which trailhead we were meeting at, we started climbing the mountain just after dark, but the moon was bright enough to hike without a flashlight or headlamp. We climbed to the summit of Green Mountain and saw all the city lights of Denver. After a break at the summit (where Steve took some night photos) we headed SE along the ridge over the top of another summit and then followed the trail down to the Florida Trailhead on the east side of Green Mountain. Since the car was parked on Alameda Avenue, we hiked the Lonesome Trail through the lower slopes of the mountain and found the vehicle. It was a great hike on a clear night. It was cool (in the 20’s), but not bad for January. November 18 2008 I was stuck in Denver on business for a few days. After classes, I decided to climb Green Mountain since it was the closest peak to downtown Denver and since it was an unusually warm day for November. I arrived at the Roony Road Trailhead about an hour before sunset and hurried to the highest point to watch the sunset. After walking highpoints in both directions, I completed a loop hike and returned by headlamp well after dark. | |

| rkymtn | Various Routes | |
| Hiked and biked on numerous occasions. Not much of a peak by CO standards, but not bad for a winter/early season mountain bike when everything else is still snow covered. | |
