💡 Tips from Dan
Your Road Warrior Guide
- •For an unforgettable visit to Boulder Mountain, the best times to explore are late spring through early fall, when the weather is mild and trails are accessible. Dress in layers, as temperatures can vary widely; sturdy hiking boots and a hat are essential. Bring plenty of water, snacks, and a camera—sunrise and sunset provide breathtaking photo opportunities, especially at overlooks like Fish Lake. For stargazers, a blanket and telescope can enhance your experience under the clear night sky. Be mindful of wildlife, maintaining a respectful distance, and follow Leave No Trace principles to protect the natural environment. Lastly, familiarize yourself with local trail etiquette: yield to uphill hikers and maintain a quiet atmosphere to fully appreciate the serene surroundings.
