Exercise

Get that heart pumping!

There is no better motivation when struggling through that tough workout than to look up at your surroundings, taking in beautiful peaks and rocks, and drawing that fresh mountain air into your lungs! These adventures are great for a trail run, have a lot of elevation gain, and work well for those wanting to exercise in nature!

From steep inclines to running stairs at Red Rocks, these adventures can whip you into shape and help you fit into those pants from years ago.

These adventures are sorted by drive-time from Denver. Pick your destination and get out there. How hard you go is up to you, but we’ve got your back and are cheering you on every step of the way!
