The information on here is incorrect regarding mileage - its 1 mile, not 2. I came here on a weekday evening around 7PM and when we arrived, we were the only car, but when we left, there were a few more cars around. The walk up was pleasant and there were some mountain views, and the walk down was fine. There were some picnic tables too which are good to hang out at, and its not a bad spot to watch the sunset! Short and sweet trail.
Got to take a hike here during my time in Boulder, Colorado. The place seemed busy when I went to park but as I got higher in altitude on the trail it turned into my own little world. This area offers exceptional views of the Rockies and a glimpse of the continental divide. This area is above the tree line for the most part so be careful if your not used to high attitude like I am. I experienced minor altitude sickness when I got to the top. It didnt stop me from soaking in the bliss though.
A nice loop enjoyed by toddlers and adults alike. Hardly ever crowded on weekdays, good views of mountains further back as well as out to the plains.
Great views from the summit. Easy and fast hike. The 10 year old loved it.
Short hike with great views that is perfect for little legs!
Lovely short hike, only about a ten to fifteen minute drive from downtown Boulder. A little slippery due to leftover snow but easily maneuvered around. Nice spot for a picnic. Many benches along the trails. Terrific views.
Great short hike. Not busy. Four year old completed it with only minimal complaining.
Great short hike for families with kids who might not want to walk very far.
Beautiful short (less than a half mile) hike to an great overlook. Trail is in good condition, views are stellar in all directions.
Beautiful short hike with a view of the Indian Peaks. Quite exposed, so plan on bringing a hat.
Very beautiful area, picnic areas at start of trails. Amazing views. Definitely recommend for family walks and picnics.
There is a high incline vertically, but its not too bad. The view at the top is really nice. There are a few trees and benches to sit on.
This is by far the shortest easiest loop hike in the Boulder area that still affords a commanding 360 grieve you. I recommend this one for all families. Young children small dogs this is the perfect hike
Always a gorgeous place to stop. Sunsets from here are absolutely amazing!
Really just a pull off along Sunrise Canyon Rd, but the view is incredible. There are probably hiking trails, but the road is dirt at that point and its no country for crippled old men.
Excellent spot for hiking and taking in some scenic views. 20 minutes outside of Boulder this picturesque spot afford some easy uphill trails that loop back to a modest parking area complete with a port-o-potty and picnic tables. Kids can complete the trails without too much worry. Benches are placed throughout the trails for a rest break.
Great scramble up a hillside, excellent for early morning walks
Very rewarding but not too strenuous loop hike, a bit over a mile.
Wide trail with some uphill. Loose rocks near top.
Great spot for an evening picnic, just outside of Boulder. There are several wheelchair accessible picnic tables near the trailhead. There is a great view from the top of bald mountain out across the plains with a view of Denver. The hike to the top is an easy mile if you do the full loop or a half mile if you take the summit trail to the top and back.
One of my favorite places around Boulder, never crowded and great scenery, parking and restroom on site.
Perfect place to hike with kids, its not much more than a mile and has a restroom, plus plenty of places to sit and have a snack or take in the view.
Great easy hike with beautiful views. I would highly recommend for anytime with small children. Our kids are 3 and 5 and it was a perfect fit for them.
Awesome place to hike with breath taking views. Absolutely beautiful!
Awesome little hike
Good views from all angles
Nice 360 degree view from the peak. Easy hike.
Easy quick hike! Great to get away from Boulder crowds
A beautiful scenic area with high mountains but we saw warnings of mountain lions so we didnt go far. There were a lot of bikers and hikers there.
Super easy hike, went before a snow storm and the wind was incredible at the top.
Well maintained paths. Very easily traversed. Beautiful views! A must see if in Boulder!
Absolutely stunning! A realitively easy incline hike with gorgeous views. wildlife and foliage are in abundance as you make your way up the mountain
Great easy hike just outside of Boulder. Great views and a good chance to see wildlife.
Most special place to us in Boulder
A peaceful place to reflect, view the gorgeous scenery and take a relaxing hike.
This hiking spot is overall decent. I think they have a warning for mountain lions. The views are beautiful.
Nice little loop
Beautiful view
Excellent place for a quick hike. The trail is a loop which goes up the mountain to the summit and around back to the park.
Beautiful views, nice little trail, seems to be a frequent hangout spot for the smokers though
If you hate long walks but like medium length drives, this is the place for you. Great for children
Love this short and easy trail for its views, runnability and relative proximity to Boulder. Quick loop for workout or taking visitors
Incredible view! Had to get up in the mtns and away from my stressful job and the city heat...it was an amazing spot I have never been to before!
Very Scenic. Theres a nice picnic table.
Great easy hike for someone wanting a less crowded trail. It does get packed with snow and slightly icy so bring cleats if you plan on going in the late winter. After snowfall, this area is beautiful though, tough to get a picture of a hillside without houses but its picturesque and great for a picnic.
Close to Boulder and magnificent!
Short and easy hike up to the summit from where one can see Boulder, Denver, bear and south Boulder peaks.
Nice scenic hike. Take a trail straight to the top, or one that circles around to other side of the mountain first.
Great place to go to see scenic views. There is a trail head there as well.
Very easy hike with great views.
Easy about a mile and a half hike with nice view of the city of Boulder and surroundings from the top. Beautiful in snow
Even on a cloudy day the views are breathtaking!
This is a very short hike < 1hr but has splendid views of the front range! Theres a small bench at the top of the trail loop such is very peaceful. Its a little bit of a drive to get here but its a nice short hike.
One of my favorite short hikes in the Boulder area. The hike is only about a mile but has some breathtaking views. There are also really nice picnic benches, it would be a great place to relax with a book.
Great for family hikes. Pretty quick loop perfect for a family stroll. They also have a few picnic tables.
Nice little hiking spot with great views of Boulder. I liked that it wasnt very crowded, probably because its a short trail for Boulder standards.
Very easy hike, beautiful scenery, quiet and peaceful out here. Easy hike for kids and plenty of areas to sit and enjoy the views
The path we took was an easy hike with nice views of surrounding area. We could see where fires went through last year but the land is healing.
Incredible short hike route
Easy, short hike. Great for young kids. Excellent views.
Nice place a for a quick hike. Easy to access, even on a snowy day.
Great hike for families with small kids. Plenty of benches and picnic tables to break up a hike on an easy 1 mile loop.
Was an amazing drive and so breathtaking one you look and see how amazing thoes Rockys look
Great place to clear your mind. Highly recommend.
Beautiful views for about 1 mile hiking
Good short hike. Nice views. Easy to do with young children.
Perfect short hike in the fall and spring. No shade. Lots of areas for kids to explore and climb.

Great low traffic place to hike with the fur babies, especially on a foggy day!
Can see Denver 30 miles away.
