Boulder Nature is a guide to the landscapes, trails, and seasonal changes of Boulder, Colorado and the surrounding Front Range.
This site focuses on real places, real conditions, and the natural details that make each season unique — from spring wildflowers and flowing creeks to golden autumn grasslands and quiet winter trails. All locations featured here are places we have personally visited, photographed, and explored.
Our goal is to help readers better understand when to visit, what to expect on the trails, and how Boulder’s nature changes throughout the year. Whether you are planning a hike, looking for seasonal photography ideas, or simply curious about Colorado’s landscapes, Boulder Nature offers practical, experience-based information.

Boulder Nature is created by a local nature photographer and outdoor enthusiast who regularly explores the area’s open spaces, foothills, and mountain trails. Photography and firsthand observation are central to how this site documents the landscape.
