Hiking the Shanahan Trail in Boulder, Co There are several different entrances to the Shanahan Trail, a hiking trail in Boulder, Colorado. The trail in which we entered started with a relatively steep incline. There are small steps that help you climb to the top. This trail meets with another trail. If you stay to the right you will come a small map that includes the does and don'ts of the various trails. There are several different routes you could take depending on the type of hike you are looking for. In general, this is an easy to moderate trail. Moderate being the few inclines areas. We selected to do a larger loop that included South Fork Shanahan, a small portion of the Mesa Trail, Big Bluestem Trail and then back to South Fork Shanahan. The first part of the South Fork Shanahan trail starts to the left of the sign and continues up the incline. There is a split in the trail with a sing showing “to South Fork Shanahan”, but we continued upward. This is where the trail meets Mesa trail and the North Fork Shanahan Trail. If you are looking for a shorter hike you can continue to the right on the North trail. Otherwise take a sharp left and it will put you on the Mesa Trail. |

 Lake Estes Trail, Estes Park, CO
Lake Estes Trail is an easily accessible trail that is close to downtown Estes Park. We accessed this trail just behind the visitors center, but it can also be accessed at several other points around Estes Lake, including the Lake Estes Marina. The trail makes a 3.75 miles loop around the lake and provides incredible views of the Rockies, the town of Estes Park, and the Stanley Hotel, a prominent feature overlooking the town of Estes Park. |

 Hiking Mount Margaret Trail in Red Feather Lakes, CO
The Mount Margaret Trail is a relatively popular trail for the small town of Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. During the winter months snow can be prominent and make this trail a little difficult, but otherwise it’s relatively flat and easy. And the view makes it well worth the hike. The trail starts off behind the trail sign at the entrance of the parking lot. We’ve passed this trail several times and avoided it due to its popularity in the prime summer months, and the tendency for it to be muddy at the trail entrance. Please don’t let this deter you. It lends itself to a nice afternoon walk. |
