I Like Thursday #80 - a new hike

I've posted before that DH and I enjoy hiking, especially the popular "urban" hikes in our area that are part of city and county open spaces.  We found a new spot in Boulder the other day that I wanted to share with you for my likes this week.


This is Colorado at the end of April - hints of green wherever you look.  The trees are starting to leaf out - sometimes you can see it, sometimes you can't!


This hike goes around a little lake, right up to the foothills, and in between some residential neighborhoods with funky Boulder houses.

One of these was for sale, for only $775,000!  Yikes!

We saw several hang gliders soaring along the ridge as we walked.

Evidently this is a popular spot for that activity!


Beautiful views and blue, blue sky - this is what I love about Colorado!


The way back to the car took us through a neighborhood, and I had to share this fun mailbox!

LeeAnna, you need one of these!

Happy Thursday, friends!  Hope you're having a great week!  Hope you will join us at Not Afraid of Color for all the I Like Thursday posts.

    aren't the prices of houses crazy in some places! the hike looks really pretty reminds me of an area we walked through on one of our many trips in Colorado - I think the one I am thinking of might have been in Steamboat Springs - we were only over-nighting in the area so I might have it confused with another spot

    Sometimes you see it, sometimes you don't - I get that. Looking out the back window, my eyes can see the aspens leafing out, but I don't think my phone camera could catch the subtlety! Have a great weekend!!!
