My First Trimester of Pregnancy as a Hiker
I’m pregnant! This post discusses my experiences with hiking and exercise during the first trimester of pregnancy, and how I have adjusted my exercise regime.
Month: August 2020
Fort Collins – Ginny & Powerline Trails Loop at Bobcat Ridge Natural Area
This 8.5-mile, 1,450 ft-elevation gain moderate hike may be less well-known than other hikes in the Front Range, but it features some lovely and different views from other areas. In particular, the views of the valley, Mahoney Park, and the mountains beyond to the West were great.
Boulder – Mt. Sanitas via Sunshine Canyon & Lion’s Lair Trails in Summer
The 7.3-mile option of hiking Mt. Sanitas via Sunshine Canyon and Lion’s Lair Trails out-and-back is now one of my favorite hikes in Boulder. You get the elevation gain of hiking Mt. Sanitas, while also getting to enjoy the beautiful views of Lion’s Lair Trail, and some good hiking mileage to boot. It can be a refreshing hike on a summer morning, as you pass through shaded forest areas along the way.
