COWS. There a lot of them and you can see them really up close sometimes which is fun. As for the hike, it's nice and easy and pretty flat overall. Terrain is mostly golf-ball to baseball-sized rocks / gravel so it's fine for walking in sneakers, but it's a bumpy bike ride. Around the western most side of Flatirons Vista, hike towards Doudy Draw a bit to get some pretty amazing views.
Lovely trail and definitely worth hiking - even if very easy with little elevation gain. $5 to park (or $25 annual Boulder pass) with pit toilet bathrooms. The walk is very rocky so use caution. Otherwise a very easy and lovely loop adjacent to the Flatirons with great vistas at the middle of the loop!
Nice trail for hiking or mountain biking with great views. The first part crosses a plateau and is relatively flat and not technical. The second part narrows and then drops a hundred feet or so, eventually intersecting Dowdy Draw trail. This part is a bit technical if climbing on a bike on the return trip.
Beautiful jogging trails nestled near the foothills. The trails are well maintained and there were restrooms, trash and recycling. No running water or hand sanitizer. We were there with many other cars in the lot so I didn't worry about theft this trip but the trailhead is very isolated so I'd make sure not to leave valuables in the car. Dogs are permitted on leash. The wildflowers were spectacular this time of year!
Relatively easy loop with grew views of the Flatirons and multiple options for connectors. The trail eventually leads to an overlook, followed by a forest path. The parking lot is a little cramped and hard to pull out of, but worth it for the views!
Highly recommended for an easy hike. There's no elevation, mostly prairie and some forest. We saw prairie dogs and a coyote.
Amazing moderate hike! Views are breathtaking! Our fall hike was so much fun! A few mountain bikers who didn't know how to yield to hikers, but that's OK. Not too busy. Would definitely recommend this trail.
Oh how I loved hiking here. The view is spectacular and the hike wasn't strenuous. Be sure to apply sunscreen and carry drinking water. There's a $5 parking fee that you can pay with cash or via an app.
This was an exciting hike with a nice surprise climb at the end to the top. It was a clear day so the views were stunning. Thunder was bouncing through the canyon creating a thrilling experience. Not muddy and was a tad busy but well worth a trip.
Intermediate level; for beginners hike may seem intimidating as the incline begins pretty quickly from the trailhead, but keep going! The views are totally worth it. We took the Chautauqua trail-Flatiron 2/3 hike up and the Bluebird-Baird trail down.
Best solo climb I've ever done. Up the standard route; down the south ramp to the top of the SW chimney; down that to the ground. Nothing harder than 5.5.
My friend and I jetted in from Fort Lauderdale, FL, with the mission to soak up the great outdoors in Colorado. Of all the hikes we tackled, the Walker Ranch Loop won our hearts. This 8.6-mile loop delivered everything we were looking for.

Beautiful canyon hike - I got dropped off further up the canyon (by the intersection with Four Mile Rd) which I would recommend. Further up the canyon there was a lot less foot traffic, so it was nice hiking. The trail is really well maintained. Smoo
A solid, moderate hike. Parked in the neighborhood and then began the trek upwards. Itâs a lot of upward hiking basically the whole time, but itâs fairly gradual. Higher up you get, the more Rocky it gets. Great views, a decent amount of shade bu
Welcome to Dry Creek Trailhead in Boulder Colorado. Tucked away in the middle of nowhere. Down the street from the school. This Trailhead is extremely relaxing. Most people come here with their dogs. Which is really awesome! The trail is extremely lo

We held our work holiday party here and it was the perfect venue. Mike was really helpful in getting us booked in and Addison looked after us on the night. The ciders were brilliant, and we brought our own catering in for the event. We were 25 people
I went last year with my friend and have been going at least twice a week ever since. The classes are fun, always different, and the instructors are top notch. If you want to lift heavy, they have a good variety of weights to accomplish that goal. I
Itâs rare that we get pleasantly surprised, but our get away to relax and celebrate my birthday was made even more special our stay at the Bradley Boulder Inn. The staff were friendly, helpful and made us feel special. The room was spacious, comfor
Such a great hike during the summer, great variation in skill levels, perfect for families and boulder climbers alike. Nothing can beat the view of the flatirons or Boulder from here! Huge system of trails to pick from!
Very cool collection of cars worth millions. Itâs a great place to see if you like cars or know anyone who does. Lots of history all in one place. Would love to come back soon.
Absolutely thrilled with Boulder Karate! My 5-year-old daughter adores every class and eagerly looks forward to her private lessons with Molly. Her enthusiasm for karate has skyrocketed since joining, and weâre delighted to see her excitement and d
This is my family first time here and let me tell you it is a beautiful site. I thought it was a place to take pictures but the view is so amazing, everyone NEEDS to come here. You go on this thin road and it looks scary but you have to be VERY CAREF
Shamane's Bakery is amazing! I ordered Christmas themed desserts for a company holiday party and they were so beautiful and delicious. Everyone raved about these desserts, especially the caramel profiteroles. Very reasonably priced and the custome
