On Two Feet

[Hike] Two Brands Trail around Hildebrand Ranch

The Two Brand Trail around Hildebrand Ranch is a perfect beginner or easy trail (rated green) located in Littleton, a southwest suburb of Denver, Colorado. 

The main parking area is located at the Hildebrand Ranch Trailhead and from there you’ll head counter-clockwise around the 5 mile loop (love a loop trail). The trail is a narrow single-track trail with multiple surfaces throughout. I hiked on gravel, dirt, rock and sand with the rockiest surface closer to the foothills. 

This trail is wide open, meaning no shade, so please keep that in mind when venturing out! I explored on a beautiful fall morning and thought it was perfect. This would also be a great winter trail as you’ll get the warmth from the sun throughout!
