One of my favorite short "hikes" in Boulder County...

One of my favorite short "hikes" in Boulder County. Have been coming here for ages. Some things to know. On most of the trails there is very little tree coverage meaning in the dead of Summer it can be a VERY hot walk. Keep this in mind if you're bringing your four legged buddies. There is a small covered area with a grill that I believe may be first come first serve but don't quote me. There are restrooms as well as a pretty decent amount of parking either in the lot or on the road.

Plenty of wild flowers in the spring and early summer as well as an abundance of song birds and several birds of prey including a Bald Eagle from time to time. Deer are very common as well as foxes and coyotes but they typically keep to themselves during the parks open hours. If one ever approaches you you should probably keep clear as this is uncommon behavior and the animal could be sick. Has never happened to me here but it is a possibility.

Just a PSA - Keep your pups on leash because BC Rangers AND Boulder County Sherrifs patrol the area heavily and may issue citations and as always...putting your dogs waste into a bag doesn't count as picking it up. You have to actually make it into the waste bin for that to be the case. Be a Dear and do everyone a favor and pick up after Fido won't you?

Otherwise, everyone seems to be quite friendly when you pass them either on foot, on bike, or even on horseback. Don't forget the sunscreen ;)
