25-30 min commute from the city. Enjoy the drive on I-70 as it winds through the mountains. The overlook provides some of my favorite views of the Rockies with minimal work! Adjacent is Genesee Mountain offering some trails to spice up your drive out west.

30-40 min drive. This park offers many trails but for one of my favorite views under 2 miles, Brothers Lookout & Three Sisters Trails are a must.

40-50 min drive. One of the closest waterfalls to the city. Less than 1 mile to the falls, more of a stroll suited for most and railing on a majority of the trail. Check out the great city of Boulder while you're in the area!
