The road to Mount Goliath and Mount Blue Sky summit is closed and will remain closed through 2025. Learn more about the planned construction projects.
Mount Goliath is a peak high on the shoulders of Mount Blue Sky located outside of Idaho Springs within the Arapaho National Forest. Here in this fragile alpine environment Denver Botanic Gardens oversees the highest cultivated garden in the U.S., managed in conjunction with the U.S. Forest Service. When the road is open, visitors can enjoy the garden, the Dos Chappell Nature Center and hike the M. Walter Pesman Trail. Amid grand mountain vistas, the 1.5 mile (one way) Pesman Trail winds through subalpine and alpine areas of bristlecone pines and wildflowers.
Mount Goliath is designated as a birding hotspot on the Cornell University's worldwide eBird community science website.
