Anne-Marie M. • July 12, 2013Great place for a night hike around Wonderland Lake. The city lights brighten the night sky.

Christina I. • December 28, 2015Long hike, beautiful views!! Good for a half day hike through the foothills.

B P. • January 6, 2015Nice trails to walk with great views of Boulder and Denver the higher you go. Nice date spot to watch the sun set.

Josh A. • April 29, 2017Relatively easy though a little steep. Well groomed trail. Beautiful view and forest. Lots of cute dogs.

Anna S. • October 2, 2016Awesome fall trails. Forest paths lead up to Bear Mtn. summit.

*iVy D. • March 5, 2016Nice 3.5mi trail, dogs everywhere. Not a lot of views but well maintained.

Scott S. • August 20, 2014If you're a strong hiker and prefer to do a loop, ascend from the north and follow the sketchy trail around the back (west side). It's easy to pickup the main trail (southern tip) for your way down.

Jeremiah O. • February 27, 2017Great trails that meander through forests, grasslands, and mixed conifer-grassland. Access to the #Flatirons and other #FrontRange hiking trails.
