This is one of the few long trails you will find in the Front Range that is reasonably flat (though not perfectly so; take note of that) and still provides some great views of the mountains.

I just don't get the big appeal of this particular trail. OK so in the springtime you might have some wildflowers, but mostly you are hiking through a field with the same view the whole time. There are fare more spectacular hikes close by in the foothills. More

Beautiful scenery. Well maintained trail running along base of Flatirons in Boulder. More

Great views from a manageable hike above Boulder, backed by the scenic flatirons with views to the front range. It's six miles the whole way but you might do it in pieces as time allows. More

Stay south of Chataqua to avoid the crowds, smooth trail More

This is an easy hike with views of Denver, the Flatirons in Boulder and beautiful trees. Dogs on leashes are welcome. Watch for the ocassional coyote. (make lots of noise and wave your arms if you see one - it'll run away). More

Gorgeous views of Boulder, the Plains and the Mountains. There are nice wildflowers in the summer and is a relatively easy hike. You can go one way and park a car on the other end or hike in a loop More

One of the most beautiful hikes in the Boulder Foothills, especially the Enchanted Mesa area, which really is enchanted! More

While the trails get busy on weekends, the views are incredible and the hikes range from 1.5 mile loops to 6 miles one way. Go early in the morning in the summer to assure a parking spot. More
