Have a trip planned for Thanksgiving to Colorado and plan on doing some light hiking and other outdoor activities.
Was looking for warm pants / fleeced lined pants (khaki or jeans). Ordered some fleeced lined jeans off amazon that are crap and then some fleece lined khakis off LL Bean t hat are way too baggy in every area imaginable.
Anyone have reca besides just throwing on a pair of thermal underwear underneath regular bottoms?

Layering with merino wool is your best bet for active cold weather activities like hiking. Get yourself a high quality pair of them and you'll be way more comfortable than in lined jeans.
ETA: depending on just how cold itll be, adding puffy pants on top is another option:
First Lite puffy pants

Merrino wool is the best. Blackovis.com has decently priced wool and it’s great quality.

Make sure you get something to cover your face. Know someone that kust got back from there and his face got destroyed by the wind.

Check out the brand, Stio. Expensive but great. Company is located in Jackson Hole, WY. I have one of their fleeces. Stio

layer up. Next to skin use under armour 2.0 or 3.0 thermals, then go with merino wool. Wool insulates even when wet. Leave the cotton at home or only wear it when indoors. As other poster stated, protect your face and hands.

Now, I haven't functioned in bitter cold for extended periods, but for routine purposes, I'm not crazy about this. If you're moving around, you don't need much more than a base layer and jeans. If you're going to be stationary and exposed, then add some insulated pants on the top.
I find that fleece lined outer layer are too much sugar for a dime.

Please listen to advice given regarding NOT using jeans. When wet, cotton doesn't insulate. Weather there can drop 40 or more degrees within an hour. It you are caught out in it without the right gear you will die. Moisture wicking thermals next to skin, and toplayer of wool are your best choices. Outdoorsmen in CO, WY, MT, etc will tell you cotton kills. Once wet its useless keeping you warm. Again take heed, people get lost hiking when a blizzard hits and its a white out. Be prepared or risk your life.

But dryfit items on amazon. 50 bucks worth of dryfit under jeans, a t-shirt, and quarter zip drake and a hunting coat and I was goos to -15 in Wyoming. Had ice in my beard.

I Went to Canada a few weeks ago and the one time I wore a synthetic baselayer rather than merino wool I was cold,
I have found wearing a buff that I can pull around my ears and nose if need be helps trap extra heat from the neck area.
I like darn tough Vermont wool socks, make sure your socks are not too tight
