Woods Quarry from NCAR Trailhead
All the Flatiron goodness without the parking hassles by Chatauqua? Yes please! When you arrive at the quarry, be sure to lounge in the sandstone "living room" that previous hikers have constructed, and enjoy the stunning views.

Fowler Trail
Eldorado Canyon State Park is such an iconic destination in the Boulder area. AND when done in reverse, this trail skirts the State Park fees, timed entry requirements, and parking hassles! You'll be treated to stunning views of the Front Range, and can explore all the State Park has to offer.
