Great hike! Great workout! Go slower than you think you should if it's your first time, it will get steeper. I've been doing it weekly and I recommend hitting it when it's cooler in the day. The sun shines right on the trail so get there early. Also, do yourself, other hikers, and your knees a favor and come down Barr Trail. Most accidents on the incline happen when people are coming down. If you fall, it could be a while before you stop. I jog the Barr down in about 30-45 min. Great views on both trails. God bless!

Stick to the Chavez Trail which is the 4 mi loop. Great hike along the water most of the way, with some interpretive crossings to increase the adventure.

This trail is well maintained and parking is free and easy which is always nice. But if you're looking for a challenge, look elsewhere. This was more of a leisurely hike with decent views.

A great place for walking and bikes. Easy up and then easy back down again. Remember to only go half way before you turn around. Wide enough trail for all to enjoy. Lots of picnic areas and rest rooms too. This is the starting point for the Colorado Trail.

May 22- Just did this trail today, still snow left about halfway up. Other than that it is an easy and enjoyable hike. Great view for the effort.

More of a leisurely walk than a hike. Great for beginners or a quick hike and picnic with the family. Dog and mountain bike friendly. I went on May 19 and there were a lot of wild flowers blooming and the aspens were starting to get buds. There a few game trails that intersect with the main loop, if you veer off and follow these be careful, there are a lot of cacti and wild roses.

Great first Hike of the season! I do this trail at least once a summer! It's long, but a descent hike, I'd say the difficulty is Moderate unless you cross the Sawtooth to Mt. Evans. If you start early after you get through the boardwalks the river you'll come to there's a log to cross as always be careful it's usually very icy.

Great Hike! Plan to start early, get plenty of sleep. A LOT of exposure once you are out of tree line.

This is a great trail to test your fitness level and then also see improvement over the Summer. Last Summer I was too ambitious and ate a snack right before starting the climb. Halfway up I vommed. (lovely). This year I did it in 55 minutes (to the top) and didn't stop once but to snap a photo. Pace yourself and go slower than you think you should when you are first starting. It is a great solo climb because you are really climbing against yourself and the constant climb isn't really for having conversation. There isn't much space to pull off to the side with friends anywho. Gorgeous views at the top and you will definitely feel accomplished if you push the whole way.
