Great hikes in Boulder
Starting out in “mom mode” here: be bear aware, wear sunscreen, and remember to hydrate hydrate hydrate esp if you’re not used to our altitude! We have some water bottles you can use in the cupboard. And a great rule of thumb is to hike in the morning, so you miss afternoon showers with attendant ⚡️
A previous guest mentioned that “a Boulder trail moderate isn’t flatland moderate!” So we are dutifully passing that along for your consideration :) Hiking books on entry table describe the hikes.
Hiking apps that are handy:

This is one of one favorite family hikes! A decent amount of altitude gain so take lots of water!

This is not really a hike! But if you just feel like walking around the block-ish, this park is a perfectly good destination :)
Admiral Arleigh A. Burke Park

This park has some gentle / flatter trails if you’re not wanting to have too much altitude gain. Stunning views & a must-see destination for rock-climbers. Also love the hike (Rattlesnake Gulch) that includes the ruins of the Crags Hotel & continental divide vista.

Liquor stores
Colorado limits what alcohol you can buy in grocery stores, so if you’re looking for something other than beer, you’re probably going to need to head to a liquor store.
