Tips from locals
If you’re looking for a longer but leisurely hike check out Boulder Mesa trail - it’s 13.2 mi each way so you can cover as much of it as you like or head back at any point . Beautiful views!
This is my Go-To spot to hike in Boulder as it’s not where all the tourists go. The hiking is moderate (2-5 miles depending on how far you want to go) and the views are A+++
Parking fee required. Great option if Eldorado Canyon State Park is full as you drive right past it on the way - or just in its own right, it's gorgeous. Some small picnic areas at the start, with a small creek you can walk down to and enjoy near the start. Great hiking too. Unbeatable views of the flatirons.
