Secret access to the popular Sanitas trails. More mellow uphill too which I like. Great for hiking or trail running.

If you feel like a bigger hike and a trip to the cute town of Lyons 22 min. away, check out the Nighthawk Trail accessible from the Hall Ranch parking lot. (Hall Ranch is a great mtb ride btw.). Grab lunch at the St. Vrain Market, Mojo's Taqueria, or Oskar Blues after for a nice Saturday or Sunday outside.

During non-COVID times, head into BPI on Tuesdays (I think, check their website for most up-to-date schedule) for a free aura healing. You can also schedule online right now while COVID is happening. A total Boulder thing to do and so cool!

Cool spot with food trucks, fire pits, outdoor games, and more. Parking is challenging, but you can find a spot nearby. Also bikeable from the house and right off the bike path.
