Directions:  

From Boulder take Flagstaff Road west almost all the way to Gross Reservoir.  You'll pass through the park, look for the Meyer's Homestead trailhead and parking area. 

Hike Description:

The Meyer's Homestead Trail has a lot to offer, Aspens in the Fall, Wildflowers in the Spring, and great views all year long.  The trail follows an old dirt road through the historic homestead, remnants of old ranch buildings can be seen.  Most of the hike traverses open meadows with nice views of the surrounding hills. Halfway through the hike you are treated to a beautiful Aspen grove, which should be fire in the fall.  Your destination is the Boulder Canyon Overlook at the fence to the property.  The tremendous view includes Sugarloaf Mountain, the Indian Peaks, and Longs Peak all towering over Boulder Canyon.

This is a beautiful part of Boulder County and very accessible.  It's understandable why the Meyers' choose this as their homestead.
