These are a bit more challenging. There may be technical sections that are harder.

• [[gregory-canyon-boulder]] - A bit steeper with some technical sections and some steeper sections. The elevation gain is a little over 800 feet in 1.4 miles. This is a good out and back hike, you don't have to go all the way to the top. If you make the top and everyone is in good spirits, it's an easy climb to the top of [[flagstaff-mountain-boulder]] from here. Nice for kids who want to bag a summit.
• [[green-mountain-west-ridge-trail-boulder]] - For kids that really want to get to the top of Green Mountain, this is the route you should try. The first part is relatively easy, the last 0.3 - 0.2 miles toward the summit is hard because it's steep, with rock steps. There is 600 feet of elevation gain, but most of it's in the last portion.
