Topic: Clear Creek Trail Update
Speaker: Scot Grossman
Brewery: Westbound and Down
An evening hosted by Golden Beer Talks centers around a brief, informative and entertaining presentation by an expert on an irresistibly enticing topic. Each event features beer for sale from one of our local breweries, along with a variety of delicious food and drink offerings from the Buffalo Rose kitchen and bar.
It's Golden's own grassroots version of TED talks for the benefit of our own local community--and just for the fun of it. Golden Beer Talks is a nonprofit venture focused on three favorite local things--Golden and Beer and Talking!
Tonight's Topic: the Clear Creek Trail
Clear Creek Trail—Formerly Known As Peaks to Plains Trail: What Does it Take to Build a World-Class Park through One of Colorado’s Most Dramatic and Environmentally Sensitive Canyons?
The Clear Creek Trail, formerly known as the Peaks to Plains Trail, is part of an ambitious vision to connect the Denver metro area to the Continental Divide through 65 miles of trail. In Clear Creek Canyon Park, the route winds beneath towering canyon walls, follows world-class whitewater, and passes through habitat shared by bighorn sheep, cliff-nesting raptors, multiple threatened or endangered species, and of course, countless outdoor recreationists.
Join us to hear the successes, challenges, and lessons learned from delivering this one-of-a-kind project and discover how careful planning, collaborative delivery, and precise construction are helping to balance environmental conservation with growing demand for recreation.
