Where we went: Walden Ponds
What went wrong: Extremely low water levels made some areas not so pretty.
What we did right: A short, easy hike through a nature preserve.
How you can avoid mistakes: Make sure to investigate the type of trail, so you get what you expect from your trip.
This is a reclamation project by the city of Boulder, and kudos to them for trying, but it can't compete with the mountain trails.
