What People Are Saying About Mount Sanitas Summit Hike

In Short – This two-hour hike is a great workout without the hassles of joining an indoor gym or driving to the mountains. Mount Sanitas, nestled in Boulder's scenic skyline, is easy to reach. The hike offers either a steep, stair-like climb to the top, or a wider, less steep path. At the top (about a 50-minute climb), there are panoramic views of the mountains and the Boulder and Denver skylines.
The Details on Mount Sanitas Summit Hike
Know Before You Go:
On the trail to the left, be prepared for a steep, stair-like climb, with just a few short switchbacks. The trail to the right has a wide path that loops to the base and is less steep.
Parking:
Just park off of Fourth Street and Mapleton, and you're on your way up the mountain.
When to Go:
The trails can get crowded on weekends, so you might want to try this on a week day. Or plan ahead to go during off-hours.
