It was Matt's Birthday, so we decided to do a winter hike! Walker Ranch is less then ten miles up Flagstaff Road from Boulder. At 7,000 feet or so, it is a bit cooler and a lot more mountainous, but not really the alpine setting that is like a lot of our other hikes. We did an eight mile loop with a solid amount of vertical up and down.
The weather was perfect for a winter hike. Cool, but not freezing. While we had planned on using snow shoes, we only needed Yak Tracks. Perfect hike for a lazy Saturday.
