Muddy, Snowy - the higher up and shaded portions were pretty slick with packed snow and ice. traction was extremely helpful up and down. lots of mud on the sunnier parts of the trail where the snow has melted History

Getting forecast...

“A steep but mostly smooth trail leading up Lookout Mountain from Golden.”

Description

Chimney Gulch is a steep trail connecting Golden and the top of Lookout Mountain.

Beginning from the bottom, the first abrupt 1100 feet provide a good workout, and is also a good way to access the top of Apex Trail.

Parking is available at the trailhead on the south side of Hwy 6. Alternately, a tunnel under the highway is available a short distance to the west of the trailhead (couple hundred meters or so) if running to/from/across the highway.
