Looking For Day Hikes With Spectacular Views And A Difficulty-Level That Matches Your Ability?

You Are Finally Here!

boys hikingThere are so many hiking trails on the map and you wonder, “Which one is good for me and my family especially the kids?” Now we have compiled a listing of the best family hikes that we have experienced. Most of them we have completed more than once because they were so much fun! family at BierstadtThis site offers many such hikes that have been tested with small children and deemed as some of the best trails on the Front Range! They are manageable for parents to plan, find, drive and hike. For children they are slightly challenging, interesting, and a totally fun time with nature and Mom and Dad! 

 We have also included some restaurants and coffee-stop recommendations near each hike for a pre- or post-hike meal or snack. We have discovered some great ice cream shops, coffee houses and pizza parlors in our travels; their food tastes great after a day of hiking and are a good way to break up the drive home!!! Planning ahead with this site will almost ensure a good pick. It’s like getting advice from a friend who's been there. boys eating ice creamThe best time for hiking any of these trails is late May through early September.

We really hope you enjoy the hikes, be sure to let us know if you want any more hikes added or if your favorite hike is not here.

Enjoy!
