There are tons of places to hike throughout Colorado as a whole, but there are a number of beautiful spots that are just a stone’s throw away from Denver. I have compiled a list of some of my favorite places to go hiking in the area. This is part three of that list. In no particular order here are 2 more places to hike.
Note: The hikes in this list are only a stone’s throw away from Denver. Driving time will vary of course, but I bet you can get to each one of these in 30-45 minutes.
Bear Creek Trail – Lair O’ Bear
By far the easiest of the hikes on this list, Bear Creek Trail is a perfect place to take the kids and the family dog (with a leash). No withering peaks or valleys hear...
Over the course of history, human rights movement has seen the leadership of several extraordinary figures. On July 18, the world celebrates the achievement of the extraordinary Nelson Mandela. But the aims of the holiday reach further than just the actions of one man.
“It’s more than a celebration of Madiba’s life and legacy. It is a global movement to honour his life’s work and act to change the world for the better”

In 1990, Nelson Mandela visited the U.S. for the first time after being freed from 27 years of imprisonment in South Africa. During Mandela's visit he also conducted his first interview with Ted Koppel of ABC News. Koppel was then known as one of the toughest and most feared TV reporters and interviewers in America. His ABC news show, "Nightline", was one of the top rated late night programs on television. The interview turned out to be an openly biased attempt to assassinate Nelson Mandela's character, credibility, and cause. With the bulk of Koppel's preselected questioners being either conservative Republican plants, apartheid sympathizers, opponents of Mandela's African National Congress party (ANC), and/or known members of the white supremacists Apartheid regime. Due to the wisdom and strength of Nelson Mandela, the assassination attempt failed miserable. Ted Koppel was never the same man again and eventually slipped into oblivion. Here's a little background on some of the questioners that Ted Koppel preselected: Rev. Calvin Butts - Political crony of former Republican governor of New York George Pataki and major critic of Hip Hop music and culture. Gloria Toote - Conservative Republican who held positions in the Nixon, Ford and Reagan presidential administrations. Koos Van Der Merwe - South African Conservative Party leader and white supremacist. Ken Adelman - Conservative Republican political analyst and diplomat who served under Republican presidents Nixon and Ford. He was later a major proponent of the second Iraq War. Gatsha Buthelezi - Chief Minister Kwazulu and founder of the Inkatha Freedom Party; a political rival of the ANC and Nelson Mandela. Abe Hoppenstein - South Africa's New York City Consul General under the apartheid government, ANC opponent, and white supremacist.
