Where to live in Boulder via Quora - If you can afford it, I'd go as close to the Mt. Sanitas trailhead as possible, get a dog, and treat yourself to the best evening stroll in America every day.

A convenient place to get an awesome, quick workout. For a lung burner head for the ridge. For an easier walk go up the valley. Trailhead is on Mapleton Ave uphill from Broadway. Very close to mall

Take the anemone trail - it's very scenic and presents a fair challenge.

One of the steepest hikes I've done! Beautiful views with an intense leg burning workout. Loved this hike and will be doing it again 👌🏼

Beautiful hike. Can make it a quickie, or do the summit, and get an amazing view.

Great trail from Mapleton to the summit. It's a steep incline up, but it's short and if you need a get a good workout in within an 1 to 1.5 hours - this is it.

Throw away your treadmill/elliptical/stair climber and instead do Mt. Sanitas 3-4 times a week.

Bring tissues, your nose may tend to run the further you go up. Sniffles are annoying!

From approx Nov thru March watch for snow & ice on the Back Side (facing town, East)

Nice hike. Great views!

Great way to end the day... nothing more impressive than this view of Boulder, CO. And for me 1:15 up and down is a good time.

If you go during the winter time, bring cramp-ons.

Take the East Ridge only if it's not icy. It will be ah challenging otherwise.
