Ruben I’ve run into this same issue. I use an off trail route on Green Mountain in Boulder. See the attachment… it can be extended farther to the summit of Green but as Josh said you probably aren’t going to find an actual trail outside of the incline in Manitou. Word of caution with any of these off trail routes please be respectful of the environment and follow practices to minimize your impact to the area, especially as some of these very steep areas are also very erosion prone. The route below is almost entirely on forest duff which is some of the better stuff to be stomping around on.

Thank you for the reply! This is what my thinking was but I was curious to here from you all. I can imagine a lot of people (especially those in the front range of CO) could run into a similar dilemma if they can’t drive an hour towards bigger mountains on a weekday!

Thanks for the reply Reed! I think I’ll just repeat the base period in the 24-week mountaineering plan. I’m looking for a little more variety than my daily monotonous hour run. I know this will take a lot of time I just want to make sure that I’m maximizing the large amount of time it takes to achieve results and eventually pursue larger mountain goals/projects!

Also, your writeup was great a read, it’s nice to see data on over time improvements.
