Darby’s Top Reasons to Love this Hike:

​

1) This hike is in the Four Mile Canyon area in North Boulder. Round trip is a 3.2 mile, mild to moderate climb that’s a great trail for runners (and their humans) who want a quick and fun workout.

2) Lots of creeks to cross, like 20 of them, to get my feet wet and to have an icy cold beverage.

3) A canopy of evergreen trees to help keep it nice and shady for cooling off in the summer time.

4) There is a feeling that you‘re running in a crevasse with close rock outcroppings on both sides keeping it intimate.

5) My human always says the wildflowers are pretty, I just think they smell great.
