Mt. Sanitas Hike

Summit of Mt Sanitas (Boulder), 3 mi. r/t, 1255 elevation gain, some say moderate hike, others give it a difficult rating, definitely not for younger kids as each footing from one to the next is quite steep for little legs and you will even use your hands quite a bit in spots...great workout, view, wildlife and vegetation in this area.
