Here are forty of the best hikes within an hour's drive of the Denver-Boulder area--from open prairies in the plains and old ranches in the foothills to crystal clear mountain streams and lakes. Whether you're in the mood for an easy nature walk, a day-long hike, or an overnighter, this guide offers plenty to choose from:

- Devil's Backbone Loops
- Trails for Dinosaur Lovers
- Cheyenne Mountain State Park
- Hall Ranch
- Eldorado Canyon State Park
- Spruce Mountain Loop
- Twin Sisters Peak
- Ouzel Falls and Lake

Each hike features full-color photos; a brief route description; thorough directions to the trailhead and beyond (GPS coordinates included); a detailed, accurate trail map; and at-a-glance information on distance and difficulty level, hiking time, canine compatibility, and fees and permits. Inside you'll also find Green Tips and sidebars on local lore, points of interest, tips for hiking in bear country, and the area's incredible array of wildlife.

Sandy Heise migrated to Colorado over 35 years ago to attend the University of Colorado at Boulder. She learned to rock climb in a Colorado Mountain Club (CMC) Basic Mountaineering School course and fell deeply in love with anything related to mountains. She eventually became a Senior Instructor for the same course and also lead day trips into the mountains near Boulder. She has also assisted with the CMC's Advanced Mountaineering School, teaching ice climbing and winter outdoor skills. Sandy has climbed 51 of Colorado's 54 official "fourteeners" (peaks over 14,000 feet high) and backpacked several sections of the Colorado Trail. She has explored mountain ranges around the world. At least once a week, you can find Sandy on a trail, mountain summit, rock face, frozen waterfall, or a pair of skis somewhere in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
