If you want a quick escape after work, Green Mountain is the perfect trail. Located just minutes from downtown Boulder, it offers a moderately steep climb with sweeping views of the Flatirons at the top. The trail is well-marked and usually quieter if you go on weekdays. Pro tip: Bring a headlamp if you’re heading up near sunset, as the descent can get dark quickly. Perfect for those who need a dose of nature but don’t have time for an all-day adventure. Bring you pup, horse, or hike alone for amazing sunsets and views. But you won't be alone, rerouted in 2019 the trail can be heavily trafficked especially on weekends. At the summit you're rewarded with panoramic views and an unique summit marker featuring a peak finder to the surrounding mountain ranges.
