We came here last Saturday evening for a Nature Talk about Astronomy. Later, we had the pleasure of viewing the stars courtesy of the local Astronomy Club members. They brought their excellent telescopes, many of which were homemade. We got to view the stars, planets, and the International Space Station as it flew overhead. We saw shooting stars, and the Milky Way. They guys from the Astronomy club were very nice, very informative, and their telescopes were fantastic. Bobcat Ridge is a great open area, away from the light pollution of the city. It's a great area to hike. All of the paths are paved, so it's mostly ADA compliant. We saw bunnies, deer, birds. No bobcats this time, but, we'll be back to see them again!

Be sure to sign up for a program with the Fort Collins Natural Area folks. We went on a night walk. They have one for families with children and one for adults. We went on the one for adults. It was the night before the full moon, a super moon in fact. It was two hours and an easy stroll. One of our guides, Angela, led us in a number of fun and educational activities. We watched the moon rise and took photos of the stunning sunset. We saw birds, bats, deer and other wildlife. Angela identified the birds and another guide identified the plants. We walked back in the dark with the moon lighting our way. It was downright spiritual!

Loved the openness and view. I was able to let my dog walk on his or her leash while I bopped along behind

The upper loop at Bobcat Ridge is, in my opinion, the best technical mountain biking in the Fort Collins area. Ridden counter-clockwise, it starts with a brutal climb up a powerline road, followed by several miles of upper intermediate technical singletrack. Expect lots of rock features and a few optional stunts. Dogs are not allowed at Bobcat Ridge at all, not even on a leash.

Ginny trail is one of Northern Colorado's best mountain biking trails. The climb of the service road is extremely difficult but so worth it once you get to the single track.

This area is not only beautiful but uncrowded. great hiking trails and biking, but be forewarned one of the mt. bike trails is rated extreme. Best time in the spring and then fall.

Much variety......open land, forests....this has a bit of everything. Easy family hike. Good for hikers, bikers, horses....everybody.

I have hiked here twice at night when there is a full moon and loved it. Never even knew all the prairie dogs were there until we hiked it during the day. They are so fun to watch! Also enjoy seeing all the mountain bikers during the day and what the view really looks like in the daytime.

I rode here quite often between 2008-2010. If you take the loop it is about 30min one way. It's a good workout, as the inclines in areas can be steep, but none of them are excessively long, so you get to rest as you bomb the back-sides. I would say the trail is of moderate difficulty as you won't encounter anything too technical, but there are some steep climbs/descents, loose gravel, narrow passages, and small drop-offs.This would make a good short hike too.

This natural area has several trails of varying difficulties. Well maintained paths. Many bird and wildlife sightings including a large prairie dog town on the Cabin Trail. This trail ends at a nearly century old cabin that one can explore. There is even a picnic table under the trees. Views in all directions are stunning. On another trail, it is Interesting to see the recovery of an area burned during a wildfire many years ago. Has never been crowded on weekday mornings.
