We hike a fair amount, mostly near Boulder and in Rocky Mountain National Park or Indian Peaks Wilderness. Here is a list of some of our favorite hiking trails near Boulder. Some trails allow dogs, some trails are longer than others, some more picturesque, some great for kids, others have fishing spots, grand views, birding, flowers, meadows, etc. All of the hiking trails near Boulder, or in Rocky Mountain National Park or Indian Peaks Wilderness, have been personally hiked by us and are familyvance approved. In Winter, many of these trails are great for snowshoeing!
