Colorado based. You can usually find me in the mountains with my fellow adventurists; my husband, Levi, our Border-collie mix Ziggy and Sheltie Bo.

After a few 14ers under my belt Mt Bierstadt is still holding strong as my favorite. I love that there are different sections that break up the hike. The wildlife and wildflowers were amazing as well.

The hike is SHORT but sweet. If you're already in the area I highly recommend checking this spot out. The cave is pretty awesome.

Great hike that takes your up quickly in elevation. As others have mentioned it is busy, but that's to be expected hiking in Boulder. If you get there early you can avoid the crowds.

Gorgeous in the Summer and equally as nice in the Winter. If you're looking for an easy snowshoe trek check this trail out in the cold months too.
