Trails around the world present
Living in Boulder, Colorado, the biggest challenge during the hike is to choose the path to conquer. There are so many options and superb views in the region! Nothing excites me more than knowing that I have a good hike in front of me and an incredible view that awaits me at the top. One of my favorites is an easy path hidden among the leafy trees at the forefront of a residential road. There is a tiny green panel marking the path from the point of view, but it is barely visible for anyone passing. You would certainly miss the way if you didn’t know what you were looking for!
The trail begins along a small stream, giving way to the light in the glance in the bend in front. It starts to become steepeting when you continue to climb, and you can quickly see the city while having a glimpse of the flairons. The most difficult part (especially when you go for the hike for the first time) is to look where you go. The views are so incredible throughout that you sometimes forget to monitor your step! Your first hike on the path can take a little more time, because you will probably want to stop several times to take photos or simply dip in the beauty that surrounds you.
It is a fairly isolated path, give or take some inhabitants by taking advantage of the rocky time. There are so many ways to enjoy the path, and I like the diversity that is present every time I am there. Some people bring their dogs, others run and others can simply enjoy a quiet hike, taking their time to cover the path. There are families, parents carrying babies on their backs, older couples and much more! For me, the best hikes always involve lunch while sitting on a rock from a perfect point of view overlooking a beautiful landscape. Pack a lunch before hiking the path from a view and picnic while watching the city of Boulder beats eating in a restaurant every day!
My favorite way to spend a beautiful morning is to cycle on ViewPoint Trail to make a path at the top. It is certainly a killer and some may even think that it seems to be torture, but knowing the view that awaits me at the end offers me all the encouragement and the motivation I need to give me this additional boost! A few days ago that calls for a slower hike, but whatever the pace, it is an ideal place for me to empty my head and appreciate the beauty of nature all around me.
The trail offers a beautiful hike in the Flairons for a quick escape with an astonishing panoramic view that awaits you at the top. The accomplishment of ending a hike, regardless of duration or difficulty, is such a rewarding feeling and makes the effort that you are even more worth. This local hike is ideal for all ages and all levels of experience and will be the one I will enjoy for many years to come!
