Fit Social Mount Sanitas Hike
I can’t lie. One of the reasons that I was excited to go to the FitSocial conference last week was because it was held in Boulder and Denver. Although the conference sessions didn’t start until Friday, they offered a hike in Boulder on Thursday. I’ve been to Boulder a few times in the past few years, but I’ve never hiked there, so I jumped at the chance to get closer to the gorgeous mountains.
We met in the hotel lobby and took a shuttle bus for a short ride to the Mount Sanitas trail head, which is tucked in a cute residential neighborhood.

The route was steep right from the start, and quickly changed from a dirt path to a rocky climb. Between that and the altitude, we made frequent stops to take pictures. 😉

It was a tough hike, but the scenery was more than worth it.
According to my Garmin, we climbed over 1,300 feet!
(The flatter stretch at the end shows where we walked down the Pearl Street Mall area, as we made out way back to the hotel.)
It was a great way to meet and get to know some of the bloggers and fitness professionals attending FitSocial. About 15 of us went on the hike, and I was able to talk with most of them as we walked, climbed, and trudged along!

I loved the hike! It was one of my favorite parts of the trip, along with the walk down Pearl Street. It was wonderful getting to meet you!
Boulder is such a great place! Nice to meet you too!
So bummed I missed this. Looks like you all had a lot of fun!
It was fun! But you got to stay for the cooking demo. 😉
Oh so fun!!! I just posted today about how I had to miss two blogging conferences this week – I’ll have to live vicariously through you 🙂
Yup, this was indeed a beautiful hike with a fun group! And a terrific way to get the Fit Social conference started.
