Lubahn Trail - South Table Mountain

The Lubahn Trail was acquired by Jefferson County Open Space and the City of Golden in 2000, and deeded to the City. The existing trail was built in the mid 1960's by Professor George Lubahn, a Colorado School of Mines geology professor. It had fallen into disrepair, especially by users who felt the need to cut across the numerous switchbacks. (Please don't do this! It causes severe erosion and degradation of the trail.) Susan Rhea coordinated trail repair and new construction to connect the Lubahn section with a social trail that had developed to the east, thus making a loop trail entirely on City of Golden Open Space lands. (There are markers on the trail that let you know when you are leaving public property.) 

There will be another trail improvement project to this trail in the Fall of 2002 and volunteers will be needed! Volunteers should email susanrhea@attbi.com or call 303-278-8005. 

Volunteers first made several repairs to the Lubahn Trail on September 15th, 2001. Click here to see some photos.
