A friend of mine, Whit Brown, Told me about Centennial Cone Park which is in the foot hils west of Golden. So being that I had never been to this Centennial Cone Park, I went and checked it out today. Looks like some good hiking trails up there. Then I continued on county 60, Douglas Mtn Rd, Turned left and went up county 8, Robinson Hill Rd. Got a couple of pictures of a couple of real old buildings and their occupant/caretaker. Very interesting character named Tom. Don't remember the dogs name. The main house was built in 1863 and the older house/shed was built in the 1700s. After a short visit with Tom I took my pictures and headed up the hill. Made a right onto Smith Hill and back out to Golden Gate Canyon. Found myself going up to Rollinsville Pass. Along the way I also explored Mammoth Gulch road. Both trails were blocked with snow at about the 9800 ft level. Then back down Coal Creak Canyon and made a right at Twin Spruce Rd, which takes you over to Base Mountain Rd (A State Park Road) which now you need a State Parks Pass to pass through. Detoured to the top of Golden Gate Canyon, Ran down the canyon and then across town to home. Another Great Colorado day for exploring my back yard. Thanks, Whit for peaking my interest of Centennial Cone Park.
