The Mesa trail is an urban hikers dream. Connecting Eldorado canyon to Chatauqua with a very scenic 10 mile trail makes it hard to imagine so much open park land minutes away from the urban corridor. Either way is a great hike, a good start hike in the spring but there it just gets better. Work you way to Green mountain, then Bear and then Bear via Fern canyon. You'll fall in love with this place. It should be noted that there are lots of wild animals there. Saw a bear twice one morning, we kept intersecting the trail at the same time as it was.

Boulder from Mesa Trail, but It's always fun to hike here. Mesa Trail gets very little precipitation; throughout May this area sees the most rain, and the driest month of the year is January. Mesa Trail is good enough to spend more than a day at, Rimrock Campground is a good local
| campground; the beauty of mother nature reveals herself at Eldorado Springs.
Glide down the rapids of Boulder Creek in a kayak. There's so much to do here at Mesa Trail that you need to camp here for a while, Golden Gate is a fine location for that. Some of the water close by flows, like Spring Brook, and the good folks of Boulder like to hang out close by. All year is a fine time in the Front Range if you adore the outdoors. If you're here, you might as well pop by Bear Canyon, and get dripping wet paddling on Boulder Creek - South.
