Holy smokes was Boulder and surrounding area was fantastic. The food, drink and people were great. The drivers in the mountains and view, simply amazing. I would highly recommend a trip.

Great hiking trails. Caught up with some family from the area and did a quick hike. Nice smooth trails with some elevation change and lots of scenery. Mid-March had good mix of snow with warmer sun...

Breathtaking Flatirons area is a must when visiting Boulder. Beautiful views, hiking trails of different difficulty levels. Wear good shoes, bring water, lease your dogs. Be aware that you are at high altitude! Paid parking lot is available, but there are few spots, parking could get complicated.

I've hiked this place in winter and summer and it's just as amazing either way. There are different trails with different difficulty and their is a general store for a few more supplies but make sure to bring lots of water.
