Boulder Classic Hike

Classic Boulder Hike that gets your heart rate up, but let's you just about see it all

Location

Realization Point

Description

Green Mountain is 4.5 mile loop that is considered moderately difficult located just outside of Boulder with ~1300 feet of elevation gain. From Boulder, it will take us about 10 minutes to get to the trailhead. This trail will walk through lush forests, give open views of nearby Front Range mountains, and top out to give you views of both nearby Boulder Peaks like South Boulder Peak and various mountains such as the illustrious Longs Peak and Mount Evans.  It will take us approximately 3-4 hours to complete this hike, however there are factors such as fitness level and weather that may affect the estimated duration.

Feel free to check out the "Things to know" section on our website or read the following. 

Clothing: Check with your guide about specific questions or items to bring, but generally speaking, it is recommended that you bring good hiking boots or athletic shoes with good traction, a jacket, athletic bottoms, a backpack, plenty of water (approximately 2 liters per person), snacks, and a positive attitude.

Elevation: Elevation can affect everyone differently, however, there are a few things that you can do to prevent altitude sickness. Drink lots of water, get a good night's rest the night before, and avoid alcohol.

Weather: Weather can change unexpectedly and if a guide decides that the weather is not suitable for continuing an activity, clients are expected to follow the guide's instructions regardless of the distance to completion, client's experience/ knowledge, and/or other variables that would put clients at risk of unsafe weather conditions. Guides will do their best to satisfy clients, but if the trip is not completed due to safety or weather conditions, clients will not be refunded. This is meant to be a learning opportunity for clients and not a means to sell our client's experience short. 

Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to be your guide. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about your booking. Looking forward to exploring with you!

Flex Plan

Our Flex Plan is how we're trying to make booking guided outdoor activities more affordable. You pay 25% of total cost at checkout and then we charge the card on file 25% every 2 weeks for the next 6 weeks. This breaks up payment, follows a simple two-week schedule, and allows you to book and explore now, pay later.

Community-Use Fee

These funds are used to support local non-profits whose work involves environmental advocacy, mental health, outdoor access, and/or environmental justice. At the end of the year, our guides decide what local organization receives these funds to help us build a better community and support those who we feel would benefit from it most. This is also a great way for both locals and visitors to give back to the places they visit. Some organizations we've donated to in the past include NAACP LDF, Colorado Trout Unlimited, The Lockwood Foundation, Big City Mountaineers, and Adaptive Sports Center of Crested Butte.

Rent Gear

I also offer the rental of items from brands like Patagonia, Osprey, and Hestra that have been lightly used like backpacks, gloves, jackets, and microspikes. Contact me if you have questions.

  • A jacket or Backpack Rental Price: $10/item
  • ​Microspikes or Glove Rental: $5/pair

You'll have the option to add rental items at checkout if you would like to rent some gear. If you choose to do so, please contact me letting me know what sizes you'd like. I'd recommend reaching out beforehand to make sure your size is available. This is to help save you money, try out gear, and reduce waste!
