6The Bridalveil Creek Trail
This trail might fall short of two miles, but it is still rated moderately difficult. Bridal Veil Falls, the tallest free-falling waterfalls in the state, are what make hiking this trail one of the best experiences in Colorado. The falls are 365 feet high.
Mind you, the elevation clocks in at almost 1,650 feet. So you can expect to get a bit more fatigued than you might initially imagine. Are you an experienced hiker who wants even more of a challenge?
Take the newer hiking trail that goes from the parking lot to the waterfall’s bottom. The terrain on this hike is reported to be notably rough and uneven. There are even a few hazardous water crossings. Regardless of your choices, make sure you’re prepared.
7The Butler Gulch Hike
This trail, near Berthoud Falls, Colorado, is five miles in length and moderately difficult. For roughly half this hike you will enjoy the shade. Once you get past the treeline, you lose the shade but gain exceptional views of the wild foliage and mountainous peaks.
If you feel like extending the loop, there is a spur trail at the top of the trail which joins with the famous Continental Divide Trail. This will extend your total hike to nine miles but it is fun if you have the energy. Indeed, this one involves crossing streams and steep climbs.
Care to do some snowshoe hiking? Visit once the snow falls. This is one of the top winter hikes in the state. Keep in mind though, that the skill level required for this trail increases during the winter months because it becomes more difficult. Dogs, by the way, are welcome here.
