Click on each hike number to get the full description. Many of the listed locations below include multiple separate hikes, so be sure to read the entire listing!
We continue to add hikes to the list. If you know of a hike location within an hour’s drive of downtown that’s not on the list, feel free to suggest it. Hike locations more than an hour’s drive can be added to the “farther-away hikes” category, while locations unable to support a two-hour hike duration can be added to the “shorter hikes” section under hike # 67. Please be patient!
