HIKING ANNE U. WHITE TRAIL: Fourmile Canyon Creek, Boulder, Colorado
A friend and I wanted to go on a hike, but we were limited on time, so we chose one of my favorite short trails in nearby Boulder, Colorado. For me, the sight and sound of running water along a trail washes away stress like a glass of water quenches thirst. The Anne U. White Trail follows Fourmile Canyon Creek, where the water level can be hit or miss: a friendly gusher in wet years, or a mere trickle in dry years. This time it was a hit. We crossed the rushing creek nearly two-dozen times, and stopped to admire many small waterfalls. This easy, three-mile hike is tucked away in a convenient residential area, yet the canyon walls give it the feeling of a secluded getaway. Here’s a two-minute peek at what you might see if you go:

I loved the pics and video, but the song kind of overpowered it. I would love to try this trail some day.

Thanks for checking it out, Jim. It’s a sweet, easy little trail for a relaxed walk. I’m partial to trails with a lot of water.
Selecting music is tough… I try to pick songs by artists who are deceased. Classical is easiest, but sometimes I like a little change of pace.
