Lovely view of wild? horses grazing under the mountains at Teller Farm trailhead
Evening Hike On Boulder Open Space
Julie and I took an evening hike at Teller Farm Trailhead in Boulder. There is plenty to explore here. We watched birds explode out of tall grass as we passed by, saw a Heron cruise over a field and wondered what might live around the lake. We also found ourselves stuck while a herd of cows used a gate to move from one field to another.
Boulder Open Space offers grand vistas
My camera really doesn’t convey how amazing the views are at Teller Farm Trailhead
Where Is Teller Farm Trailhead?
The city open space is accessed along Arapahoe between 76th and 95th. Drive down a dirt and gravel road to an ample parking area. We saw what looked like bathrooms and some picnic tables, but were focused on a hike. There are a couple of options and a really nice dock you can walk onto in the middle of a lake.
Take the East Boulder Trail or the Teller Lake Trail.
Views And Vistas At Boulder’s Teller Farm Trailhead
We enjoyed gorgeous reflective views of homes in Park Lake from the trail, unbeatable mountain views of the Flatirons, wild horses grazing under purple mountain peaks and more. Hiking in the evening offered great views and solitude, but the canals and lake draw plenty of ‘skeeters, so next time we’ll go back during the day.
I caught the reflection in this photo. Gorgeous views abound of houses along a lake, mountains and farm life
