While it may feel as though the summer is coming to a close, there is still plenty of time to explore our area’s hiking trails before the first snowflakes start to fall. There are great hikes all over our state, ranging from peaceful walks through towering aspen trees to challenging inclines up steep rocky mountains.

We’ve compiled advice from our outdoor-loving and knowledgeable brokers, sharing with you some of their picks for the best hikes around Colorado:

Celeste Ballerino:

Three Sisters trail out of Evergreen! Gorgeous views, amazing rock formations, suitable for anyone! Stop in at Beaujo’s pizza after and sit on the creek!

Dave Craven:

I don’t usually hike, but I mountain bike on a lot of hiking trails. I’d have to go with Elk Meadow Open Space and the Bergen Peak Trail. Good views along the way and killer views at the top. You can see 4 14ers from the top and 1 more along the way back down. It’s reasonably close to town, lying between Bergen Park and Evergreen.

Debra Guy:

Mount Falcon – Great views of the city, an interesting hike with elements of the history of the land and fun for all ages.
