Fairmount Trail a great place for long runs at the edge of suburbia in Jefferson County

Dirt trail leads from Golden to Arvada along the foot of North Table Mountain

The Fairmount Trail between Golden and Arvada takes runners, hikers and mountain bikers beneath the eastern rim of North Table Mountain. It's mostly flat, although it does climb about 60 feet in the first quarter of a mile. At the northern end, it connects with the Ralston Creek Trail. (John Meyer/The Denver Post)
