Rabbit Mountain Software Review

It's RATTLESNAKE season. I almost stepped on one laying on the path (just past the bench) to soak up some sun after 4pm yesterday. Wear protective clothing and be on the look out. I was wearing running shorts and could have run into big trouble yesterday had I been bit.

Great little getaway hike. Great for the whole family. Not too much shade but beautiful views.

A real nice, not too long trail near Longmont. One mile up 350 ft, then 2 around the top, then back down. Nice 360 view of the area.

Nice walking trails, great views. Easy to Moderate in difficulty. Restrooms not good. Watch out for the snakes. We didn't see any though.

A favorite close-in hike or trail run! Views from the Eagle Wind Trail up top are wonderful, year-round.

Great spot near Longmont for a couple different hikes, Eagle Wind is my favorite, especially for trail running.

Very nice park in the foothills with three trails. I have seen elk in the plains to the south.

Great short but sweet hike/bike trail! With great views of the Flatirons to the Southwest and on the other end of the trail great views of the Plains.

Nice place for a hike. There's no shade, so wear sunscreen.

I like this little trail.
The whole family goes to hike.

Very fun and short hike. They have three trails that you can follow. All of which are just right for a quick hike.

Great area, not much shade on the different trails. Great views and good area for easy mountain biking. The trails are short but have great views and are not crowded most of the time except weekends when the parking lot is often full

Love rabbit mountain.. great If you have flat lander's from out of town in . You can go on a nice hike and not kill your company..

Probably one of the easier hikes around. If you're new to the area or a great place to take someone that isn't a advanced hiker. (Pretty easy trails, with a few hard/rocky sections) views are great, wildlife all around. I would definitely be back to hike the other trails and ride them as well.

A great place that is super close to Longmont with wonderful views. A great place to hike and mountain bike with everything from a trial you could push a wheelchair on to more technical hilly and rocky trials. My only complaint is that there's only about 10 miles worth of trail. More than most people need for walking but not a lot for mountain biking.

Beautiful hike/ trail run! Can be snowy, icy or muddy in the winter. I always see elk roaming around so be careful with dogs.

So beautiful in late spring! It was very green but dry and not muddy. Several kinds of wild flowers are blooming. The hiking is easy but I recommend good shoes for the rocky trails. There is a nice covered area with tables and a grill. A great place to take the pooch!

This space does not look like much as you're approaching it, but has great views looking out once you're there. I like the covered picnic table area as a reprieve from the bright sun.

All levels of trails, beautiful scenery, dogs on leash allowed, close to town but feels remote. Also, has picnic tables and restrooms. We did a late lunch picnic and afternoon hike. Spent 2 hours exploring. Love this hiking spot!

Very nice trail system with great views. Easy difficulty level but there are a lot of small rocks to navigate in some sections. Protect your ankles!

Free park, great view. Went at sunset. Dog friendly (on leash). Easy to walk.

The frontrange has so many hiking trails and this short, rocky trail would seem to not offer much above others, but the views to the west and east are always amazing. The trail is very rocky, so wear boots (or good bike tires). I see people trail run it, so perhaps I'm overly sensitive to the ankle breakers.

We love coming here for hikes with our dogs and kiddo. The loops are short and moderate, with nice views of the northern front range. It can get a little sunny with minimal shade, so bring a hat. Lots of parking at the trailhead.

Beautiful morning hike even in the Frozen Fog. A little muddy in places but not too bad and made for great tracks to look at!

Great place to hike even if there are only a few trails. Views from the trails are great and easy to traverse. There is a very nice picnic area and lots of parking. The restrooms however, are amongst the most pungent I have been in, it kind of sticks with you.

Lovely place to be in nature. Quiet, secluded, yet close to town and easy to get to. Makes for an easy hike with great views at the top without having to drive very far at all.

Great place friendly park rangers plenty of wildlife

This is a great place to explore the plains to foothills transition. I believe it to be an underrated birding area. Facilities are 1 restroom, covered picnic table, information/maps sign.

Nice, close to town hike. The loop has more shade, the lookout path is very Rocky and surprisingly looks out north. I always see deer here, often bald eagles, and today we saw a beautiful Western Tanager. Well-travelled trail with lots of dogs and some bikes.

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 ;)

Eagle Wind trail is the best of the 3. Nice views. Not too challenging but still a good workout. Big Thompson trail is very rocky.

Great local hike, keep dogs on leashes due to lots of rattlesnakes and deer, the first part of the overlook trail is a bit boring but it's worth it, and the loop is my favorite quick hike.

Wow, a ticket for being there just after "sunset". I was literally watching the sunset from the benches overlooking the parking lot.

Quick trip from Longmont or Lyons. Short trails to hike that are great for kids

Great trail with beautiful views of the front range and the twin peaks. Not to challenging either. Just a few minutes outside of Lyons.

Limited parking, but a good open hiking space. Has a bathroom.

Quick, close to Longmont CO hike. With amazing Mountain views
