Green Mountain, Mountain summit in Boulder, Colorado
Green Mountain is a summit in Boulder rising above 8,000 feet and offering multiple trails with varying difficulty levels. The routes pass through diverse landscapes featuring wildflowers and native plants along the way.
The mountain was developed as a hiking destination in the late 1800s when Boulder residents established trails for outdoor recreation. Hiking has since remained central to the area's role in local community life.
The summit serves as a popular meeting spot where locals run, hike, and spend time outdoors year-round. People gather here regularly for exercise and to connect with nature.
Multiple trailheads provide access to the summit, with the Gregory Canyon route covering about 5.5 miles round trip through varying elevations. Starting early in the day is recommended, especially on weekends, to avoid crowds and secure a parking spot.
A bronze disk sits at the summit identifying the surrounding mountain peaks for hikers. This small detail helps visitors develop a better understanding of the local Rocky Mountain geography.
