fall hiking in adams county is no joke right now.
perfect weather. empty trails. insane views.
we pulled our top picks because these are the ones we actually do this season. bear creek if you want easy. standley lake if you want scenic. chatfield if you want to bring the whole family and have different options.
swipe through for the details — distances, difficulty, what makes each one worth your time.
then actually go. this season only lasts a few more weeks.
pro tip: go early in the morning before everyone else figures it out.
