Hikes for the Whole Family near Denver

Denver has no shortage of hiking trails in state parks and open spaces near the city. Not all of them are family-friendly, though. If you’re pushing a stroller, carrying a baby, or have little ones running on ahead, you want a trail that’s a decent workout but not too committing. The same goes if you have family visiting from elsewhere who aren’t accustomed to the altitude. You also want a trail that won’t be too busy with high-speed mountain bikers. Ideally, you’ll find peaceful places with an abundance of nature and scenery for the kids and relatives to explore and get them excited about the outdoors of Colorado.
