Brady Delander - Exploring Gunbarrel by Foot

[Story collected during Neighborhood Office Hours in Gunbarrel.]

"I walk five to seven miles a day, mostly because my dog is very pushy. I walk right out my door in Gunbarrel and go up the street to Twin Lakes, which is a really nice area with paths around two lakes, about three-quarters of a mile around. One of them is an off-leash dog park, so I’ll do three or four laps around that one and then start to veer onto one of the many paths we have in that area. There are paths in every direction. Some of them go through the neighborhoods around the Boulder Country Club – a really beautiful area. Some days I can just keep going, if the weather is nice. That’s how I really rack up the miles – just keep turning down different streets and get lost a little bit. It’s fun. I have been here for two years, and I still find new areas to walk in all the time just by wandering around. At the end of the day, it’s rewarding to look at the app on my phone and see that I’ve covered five or seven miles."
