One hike that I think is a must-do, however, is Red Rocks. Extremely easy to get to, just head out West on the 70 to Morrison and follow the signs, you can hang out and see the world-famous ampitheatre and walk the steps and all that... but there are lots of trails around there, too. There's a loop that starts around the lower visitor center (Red Rocks Entrance 2) that'll only take you about 45 minutes to do, but will give you pretty good immersion into the beauty and geology of the region. That same trip, you could go up the winding road to Lookout Mtn from Golden and visit Buffalo Bill's grave. For another local park, a friend of mine recommended Roxborough State Park off of the 25 south of the city, and it looks pretty great. And then there's also the Flatirons up in Boulder. If you want to take the time and get up in the mountains, the only place I've been yet is Rocky Mtn NP in Estes Park. There's a lot to see there, and well worth the drive.
