Super bummed. We did a big family, Colorado adventure all the way from Florida to hike and explore…read moreColorado! For the last few years our boys(6,8, and 10) have dreamed of catching a trout. In Florida we catch bass but trout is something they've always wanted to catch. We were staying at the Rocky Mountain YMCA about an hour away and we spent the week exploring and looking for an option to catch trout for big surprise on Friday. They updated social media said they are currently open fri-Mon. So even though nobody answers the phone when we tried to call on Wednesday and Thursday we wanted to trust that their website, that Google, that Apple Maps, all shows they are open Friday. Friday morning we checked out of our hotel drove there to find a sign that says we are open Friday through Monday and another sign next to it that says currently closed. As you can see in the picture, it is 1 PM on a Friday when they're saying they should be open... super bummed because we don't have enough time before our flight to find another option and we had planned on this all week. Maybe another year we can try to catch a trout.

Amazing cable car experience to go up to the top of the mountain for a great view and tasty bite…read more It was very windy the day we were there but we couldn't tell sitting in the new cable car that was super spacious. I do think the price is a little steep without any discount but we were able to book in advance online for a 15% off. Normally $50 without discount, additional $15 for a mountain bike but the pricing is for unlimited rides. They just went live around mid-May, definitely would be a fun day of mountain biking if you're into that. Note that they only have black and blue trails for mtn bikers.. so no green routes if you're a beginner. It was such a beautiful view in the cable car, would highly recommend it. I wish they offer a resident discount on top of the 15% early booking to encourage more locals to ride but happy I got a chance to come experience the newly built cable car.

The ride is short but a blast, and the views are absolutely beautiful. There's something pretty cool about cruising up the mountains and getting a whole different perspective of this historic Colorado mining town. It's one of those experiences that makes you slow down, enjoy the scenery, and remember why Colorado is so special. The trails looked amazing and difficult. It's not a full-day adventure, but it's a perfect addition to a day exploring Idaho Springs. Great for families, couples, or anyone who enjoys a little mountain fun without having to break a sweat climbing the mountain yourself! Do not go hungry I recommend saving your money for a spot in town. Food is a little expensive and flavor. Beer is the choice. To set and admire.

This is a great hike not too far outside Denver. I found out about this trail thanks to my "60…read morehikes within 60 miles" book. An aside-- I found that book in Barnes and Noble and impulsively decided to buy it. It's been a fabulous purchase! Some of you CO natives are probably rolling your eyes at me, but I've found a ton of lesser known hikes (as well as some very common ones) thanks to this book-- the most recent of which being Hell's Hole. Hell's Hole trail leads into Mt. Evans Wilderness about 30 min into the hike. About 20 minutes prior to this, there's a little stand where you must self register for a wilderness permit. There is no fee for this, it's basically just a way for the park service to keep track of info. The trailhead is off CO-103 on a pretty obscure road, West Chicago Creek. It gets pretty sketchy towards the end (very narrow road winding up a steep mountain with no guardrails...as long as I live here I'll never understand CO's aversion to guardrails in places like this) but it's well worth it. There's a campground near the trail head as well. The hike itself is a great workout with shade in the beginning and gorgeous views towards the end. Horses and dogs are welcome on the trail; mountain bikes are not permitted. The book I have estimated the total hike time to be 4.5 hours but I was pleasantly surprised to discover it only took me 3 hours, including a 30 min break at the turn around point and a couple photo/water opps. Obviously the hike time will vary for everyone; I guess the important thing to know is that it's 9 miles round trip. Though the hike is relatively long, it's not incredibly difficult. There are definitely some fairly steep portions, but a lot of it is at a relatively gentle incline. It seems like a fairly lightly used trail-- in the whole 3 hours I ran into about 3 other couples. It was really nice to enjoy the solitude, but also somewhat reassuring to know there were people somewhat nearby-- if you're hiking alone, like I was, it's always good to be aware! The trail ends in an open field with a creek nearby. It's around the treeline and you can see a couple fourteeners towering over you in this beautiful post-glacier valley. Definitely an ideal picnic spot! This trail is out-and-back, so once you've had enough of the scenery, it's time to pack it in and do it all over again!
