Other popular Colorado hiking areas include Bergen Peak in Denver, Chasm Lake in Lyons, Green Mountain Loop in Boulder, and Lake County in Mount Elbert, Leadville. However, most mountain towns offer great hiking opportunities, whether for the nature walker or the occasional day-hiker. The beautiful mountains of Aspen offer natural hiking facilities, while Alamosa features many hiking adventures near to the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range and in the San Luis Valley.
If you have ever heard about or watched the famous Pike’s Peak race, I have some good news. For the hearty souls that like to break a sweat on a hike, you can go from the bottom of Pike’s Peak to the top. You can either take the very road used for the race or meander up one of the many trails. Roundtrip is just short of 13 miles, but it will be a tough hike. The journey is considered a buster because of the massive elevation gain and length. As always, bring plenty of water and make sure you are in good shape
