60 Hikes within 60 miles: Denver and Boulder” by Kim Lipker
“Belcher Hill is a small part of the 19.7 miles of trails that make up the White Ranch Park. It is a long, rocky, and very steep trail with great views”
Distance: 4.84 miles
Difficulty: Strenuous
Elevation Range: 6,200 to 7,300 feet
My stats:
This was a very pretty steep hike that was steep enough to make you think about quitting, but not enough to quit. I could never find the Mustang Trail return path, but I did go a little further to do the Round-Up Loop. Lot’s of pretty birds including the best looking bluejay I’ve ever seen. Not a lot of shade on the way up and down, though.
Distance: 5.61 miles
Time: 2:09:08 hours
