Nice spring hike
This is a nice hike to do in the spring before it gets to hot and while the snow blocks hiking on higher peaks. It's a relatively high summit for the Front Range foothills so there are nice views to be had at vista points.

Up Bergen Peak, Down Too Long

Started raining lightly about 20 minutes before I summitted and was off and on the rest of the time. Fun forested trails, technical but very runnable are the same time. Went LT pace/effort on the way down, which made for several close calls due to the slipperiness.

Bergen
Not the best hike in the world, but good for acclimatization. Views aren’t anything to write home over.

Fantastic Afternoon
Did the full Bergen loop trail system as a Trail Run. 14'ish miles. Had a blast getting to the Summit through the snow! What a gem of a trail system!

Bergen Peak Trail
Sleepy S/Elk Ridge/Meadow View/Bergen Peak out and back. CMC hike in preparation for our trip to Mounts Ararat and Musala in August. There were 9 of us. The weather was great: mostly sunny all day, and warm. The upper Bergen Peak trail still had some mud & snow from last weekend's storm. The park was busy: lots of hikers, runners, dogs and bikers. We saw a miniature pony pulling a wagon on the Sleepy S on the way back. This was my 3rd time on Bergen, but this was the 1st time I actually went to the summit sign, the other two times I just stopped at the radio tower.

Loop
My wife and I woke early with plans of a lofty ascent. High winds in the IPW helped us decide to stay lower. We made a nice loop with another friend and enjoyed a warm hike with little snow on the trail.

10 miles is 10 miles
Saw a runner do two laps on this loop by the time we finished the round trip. Competing with many mountian bikes.
when you don't want to drive far out of town, try this mountain

Impulse buy
After riding 18 miles round trip to Golden and back on our bikes my wife and I decided to hike up Bergen. Had wanted to bag it for awhile, but since the hike is 9+ miles round trip I never had the opportunity...until the kids were out of town visiting the grandparents. The hike down seemed longer than the hike up.

Finally I climbed to the summit of this easily accessible JeffCo peak after a small early autumn snow. Fantastic views of the Evans Batholith from the top
