In Colorado we are fortunate to have weather that affords us a bit of outdoor time throughout the year. But spring ushers forth a diversity of plant life that can be healing to even the most downtrodden souls. It is in times of difficulty that we seem to benefit so profoundly from our connection to nature and most of us get a sense of stress release from being in the outdoors. For many in Colorado, this means a hard ride or a steep trek up the side of a mountain. The reality is, this is just one way to go. There are many easy and accesible trails in this area for those whose energy and exercise capacity is on the less aggressive side of the scale.
These following trails are relatively level and some have improved surfaces so there is little uneven ground to negotiate. And the flowers are just beginning to bloom! So get out and breath in the warm spring air and beautiful natural fragrances!
