Mount Morrison South Ridge Trailhead
A personal favorite of mine. Besides Bear Peak in boulder, this is the highest hike closest to Denver. It's a local spot that wasn't initially intended to be a hiking trail (you will see there are no switch backs 😂 only a vertical ascend) that gained popularity and was regulated. Its a great training hike for the avid hiker training for 14ers and a challenging hike for your typical visitor. The last bit of it (very short) involves a class 3/4 scramble, meaning you'll need your hands and feet and it will involve climbing. Stellar views overall.
ALSO! There are signs that say "not a dog friendly environment," but it's totally cool. There are sharpish rocks, occasionally snakes on hot days, but many people bring their dogs. I summited over 10 times and 3 of those times were with my little Shiba-Chihuahua mountain dog named lady 🌞.
