Hewlett Gulch Trail

05/18/25

This is such a peaceful little gem in Northern Colorado and honestly the perfect spring hike. The trail is super chill with open meadows, creek crossings, and wildflowers starting to pop this time of year. It’s easygoing, great for all levels, and super dog-friendly too. You’ll cross the stream a bunch of times, so definitely wear shoes you don’t mind getting wet. I loved how quiet and calm it felt, even on the weekend. No summit stress, just fresh air, & pretty views
