Golden Gate Canyon State Park

Near Black Hawk, Colorado.  From the Bootleg Bottom trail, in Golden Gate Canyon State Park.; Shutterstock ID 762517306
This state park is a cool 45 minute drive from central Denver. It's my default for an easy day hike. Options include panoramic views, wildflower trails, streams, and an historic miner's cabin.
