Well it has been quite a while...just to update, we are now living in Boulder, CO and eager to enjoy all the natural wonders around us. We have tubed Boulder Creek- an exhilarating trip and gone on a few local hikes and one backpacking trip so far.
The first hike we did was the Canyon Loop Trail in the Betasso Preserve. 3.2 Miles- pretty easy. There were great views of Boulder and beyond and the trail winds through shady forests and into open vistas.
We hiked the Anne U. White Trail- also an easy trek, about 3 miles in Fourmile Canyon. It was shady and cool, and also very easy to get to.
The First Flatiron hike was a great trip. It starts in Chautauqua park and heads up a wide gravel road into switchbacks that pass through forest. There were several rock climbers tackling the mini Flatiron. From there we headed up a boulder field and a few more switchbacks until we reached an amazing view of the valley, some of the Indian Peals, and the other Flatirons.
Hey! Good to see you're updating your site again! Those hikes look great. It's much greener there than I thought.
