The Ron Stewart Preserve at Rabbit Mountain (formerly Rabbit Mountain Open Space) is the easternmost Boulder County public park. The 5,000 acres park offers panoramic views of the majestic Rocky Mountains and Great Plains along its three primary day-use trails. The Little Thompson Overlook Trail is a moderate 1.5-mile uphill hike, treating you to stunning panoramic vistas at its peak. If you are not looking for much elevation gain, the 2.2-mile Indian Mesa Trail or the gentle 2-mile Eagle Wind Trail are great options. Be mindful of the sun's exposure, as the area is primarily grass and scrubland, offering minimal tree coverage.
