Only 2 days left to drive up to Brainard Lake Recreation Area 👀 Drive-up access to Brainard Lake + the upper trailheads ends October 1. Timed-entry reservations are required + can be booked through Recreation.gov 🎟️ We squeezed in a rainy little fall adventure today and honestly… still SO worth it 😂☔️🏔️ Toddler-friendly terrain, unreal mountain views + one of the prettiest easy fall outings near Boulder. After October 1, you can still drive to Gateway Trailhead + access the area on foot 🥾 Save this + grab a reservation before it’s too late ✌️ #brainardlake #coloradofall #coloradohiking #hikingwithkids #denvermom
