Thanks for the heads up. Didn't realize there were fires in Colorado.
I've been on All Trails just scoping some stuff out. I would have liked to stay a little closer to Boulder to hike Rocky Mountain National Park, but we're staying in Denver instead. Now looking at trails West of Denver, as that seems to be the closer route.

I’ve never done a 14er. My friends did Bierstadt 2 weekends ago; I was shocked by their pictures showing the amount of people at the summit. They left Denver at 3:30a and got one of the last parking spots at the trail head.
I’ve quickly learned that hiking is like skiing. The harder it is, the fewer people can do it. If a trail is easily accessible and doesn’t take skill, it will be jammed up. 4+ stars, Moderate rated trail, within 2 hours drive of Denver will be jammed on the weekend.
