We went here on our first date! It's a real "choose your own adventure" type of hiking location with miles and miles of trails to explore. You can also plan to enjoy a nice stroll around Boulder or a cup of tea at Dushanbe after the hike.
A steep and rewarding hike! Enjoy great views over the city to the east and the Front Range to the west. This hike is located in Golden, which is a very cute little town with several restaurants and breweries to check out.
If you want to venture out in to the mountains a bit further, we both believe this is the best "close but far" hike you can do! The trailhead is about 90 minutes away from Westminster, and the hike itself can be as short as 1.5 miles long. You will be rewarded with beautiful outlooks over the Rockies. If you're lucky, you may even spot a Skiyak on the glacier.
