Hikes Near Boulder, CO

Hikes Near Boulder, CO

I grew up in Boulder, CO, and love the outdoors. While I have spent the majority of my adult life abroad, I have recently returned to Colorado. Every week I venture out to new hiking locations near Boulder, CO, and up in the mountains to get to know my home state. In this guide, I want to offer you detailed information about the best hikes near Boulder, CO, from a local. I will provide detailed information about trailhead locations, the difficulty of the hike, where to stay around Boulder, and where to eat/drink after you finish your hike, etc. This is a comprehensive guide to all things hiking (and apres-hike) near Boulder, CO. This guide has 14 hiking locations, 11 of which are in/around Boulder, and 3 are locations just outside of Boulder a bit (Morrison, Nederland, and Idaho Springs). Many of the hikes are linked to additional information in my blog, as well as reels on Instagram, and additional voice notes.

Thank you so much for purchasing this detailed guide to the best hikes in Boulder, and a few a bit further out as well.

I have organized this guide based on each hiking trail's parking lot. That way you can get an idea of which hikes are close to each other. In many cases, you can combine a couple of hikes to make one longer hike. 

I use AllTrails+ when I go hiking. It allows me to download offline maps, send "lifelines" to friends via text so they know exactly where I am, and several other features. To get 30% off of your yearly membership, follow this link: https://alltrails.pxf.io/nLvaJx

You can use the app for free for basic trail info. However, the AllTrails+ gives you access to many more features such as downloading maps, lifelines, etc.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I have been traveling the world for 20 years, and I want to help you do the same. I am originally from Colorado, though I took off as soon as I graduated from university. Since then I have lived in ten countries and traveled through dozens more. I have learned languages, tried several new foods, walked across Spain, trained across Russia, worked on farms, and in pubs, taught English, and anything else that allowed me to keep going. My life motto is to be fearless and I try to live up to that every day. I’m currently traveling around Tunisia. I spent an entire year traveling around Argentina so I know it quite well. I want to help you discover what makes this country incredible as well! Shop my Argentina travel guides: https://share.thatch.co/Cijz I offer travel consultations too! Book here: https://nickipoststravelstuff.com/contact/ “Wow. Nicki is super knowledgeable about Argentina and actually travel in general. We discussed everything from general safety to the cost of renting an apartment long-term. My biggest takeaway was her ideas for using social media as a resource for learning about the people from the people. Great idea. Real nice gal too.” -Ray “Nicki’s consultation was amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns with ease and intelligence. She’s definitely someone to talk to before you visit or relocate to Buenos Aires or other locations in Argentina.” -Paul “My family and I are about to embark on a 3 month trip through Argentina, we had been binge watching youtube videos from Nicki so we scheduled a call to dive deeper. Nicki helped give feedback to our itinerary and gave great local perspective from cell phones to don’t miss desserts. It was super beneficial to get the added insight.“ -Andi
