Hey thank you for the suggestions!!

[@archulettam]

Great video, Thanks for the tips!!

I usually head to Boulder for a quick hike close to home. South Boulder peak offers a great workout without the crowd at Bear Peak

[@Davespates]

Nice, I still need to do South Boulder peak :) Thanks for the heads up

[@ruggedland]

Checked out Chavez Beaver Brook and Mt Morrison after seeing this video. Enjoyed them both. Liked Morrison a lot. Great view along a short and steep hike, with solid scramble near top

[@JarradShaw]

I did a video of the Chavez - Beaver loop on my personal KZbin channel. What a good trail. It did kick my newbie butt, lol, but the changes in terrain and scenery is wonderful. I tried real hard to show the different changes and… lol, my struggles😁

[@Davespates]

Nice! Love the terrain changes on Beaver Chavez loop !

[@ellementira]

Nice video! I had a feeling Mt. Morrison would be #1, such a good one. Just don't do it on a summer afternoon- it attracts lightning like nothing else around! Favorite winter trails for hiking nearby would be Roxborough State Park or South Valley (they both get a ton of sun and stay pretty clear all year), and favorite summer trails nearby would be Alderfer/Three Sisters. That one can get pretty packed now though so if it's a weekend or mid-morning I'll go to the quieter Flying J Ranch instead. So many great options!

[@Davespates]

Didn't know that about the lightning on Morrison good to know :) Thanks for the suggestions ellementira, Emily and I love Roxborough State Park as well, need to get out to Three Sisters this winter.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Nah try Mt Galbraith
