My brother and I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Nick from Front Range Ride Guides on a…read moreprivate half-day mountain biking tour outside Boulder! While we're both quite comfortable on bikes, we're new to mountain biking, and Nick couldn't have been a better guide. He did an excellent job of tailoring the ride to our abilities, offering helpful riding tips and advice along the way, while still pushing us just enough to make it both challenging and incredibly fun. The scenery and views were amazing, but what really made the experience stand out was Nick himself. He's knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. Our conversations throughout the ride felt natural and personal, making it feel more like riding with a friend than being on a guided tour. We really appreciated the individual attention and the overall experience. I can't recommend Nick and Front Range Ride Guides highly enough, especially for anyone looking to get into mountain biking or improve their skills while enjoying some incredible Colorado scenery. We'd absolutely ride with him again!

Pineridge is a little natural area for hiking and mountain biking that is close to town, literally…read moreonly a few minutes off the outskirts. It is a great trail for beginner hikers or mountain bikers. It is mostly flat, with just a little bit of incline. You can do the reservoir loop which is just around the lake, or you could opt to do the timber trail as well and get in a couple more miles. The timber trail will get you up into the trees a little bit and make it feel a little more like the mountains. The reservoir trail is mostly open space around the lake. If you go with your dogs, the only poop bags available are at the trailhead. Also the only trash cans available are at the trailhead. So if your dog goes to the bathroom somewhere along the trail unfortunately you will have to carry it with you the whole way. The trailhead does have a bathroom that is open. There is also a covered picnic table there. A lot of folks come out to this area to go fishing as well. I like to come here when i am either with a beginner hiker or only have a small amount of time and want to get my dogs out somewhere they can actually enjoy some smells and go crazy seeing all the prairie dogs. There are usually a fair amount of mountain bikers here especially if you go on a weekend, so if you are a hiker, just be prepared you may have to step off the trail multiple times.

What a beautiful place for a day hike !!…read more Lots of options but make sure you make it to the TOP of Horsetooth to take in the breathtaking views!!

What a great place for hiking! I'm from near Boulder, so getting in the car and driving an hour up…read morethe front range just to hike,we'll, we have hiking here too. But I was very impressed with the size and scope of this mountain park! Sitting right next to Lory State Park, you can really get a lot of distance done on these trails. It's a nominal fee to park, and there's maps and bathrooms at the trailhead. I found there to be parking much of the day. However, the waterfall attracts many folks on weekends. I would start with an ascent of Horsetooth Mountain, if you feel able. Even if you can't get all the way up, the views get better and better. There's lots of side trails to customize your adventure. However, don't get lost! The final few steps on the peak are a big rock scramble, so be careful! It's worth it though. I then went down to the cove and had a nice private lunch. Plenty of bikers use the trails on the lower half, so be aware. I found hiking before 10 am was best, and encountered few bikers out that early. This was a fantastic place to hike, and I got nearly 15 miles down. There's a beautiful section on the Stout Trail, and it leads down to a cool waterfall, so I'd definitely at least recommend that section!

Today, I had an amazing experience after frustratingly trying to fix what seemed like a simple issue on it's own but led to figuring out far more was wrong and thought the bike might be done with and repairs costing more than the bike was worth at this point. I couldn't have been more wrong. They fixed everything and even upgraded something and it only cost me 13 dollars. I was freaking out thinking my bike was finished and they made my day. James and Cole worked magic and were so cool through the whole process. Wish I could leave a ten star review! They deserve it.

Maxwell natural area is a great hike that is in fort collins…read more To simply go up to A and back to parking lot is roughly around 4 miles round trip. The first 2/3 of a mile or so is relatively flat and then it starts inclining. However it still only has around 600 feet or so of elevation gain so really is not very strenuous. You can see people hiking, trail jogging or mountain biking. The trail is somewhat narrow once you get rolling and get into the switchbacks, so be prepared for that. This is a great go-to trail if you dont have a lot of time but want to get out. In spring/,summer be careful this area frequently does have a lot of rattlesnakes.
