You certainly can live very near Pearl Street Mall in Boulder and quickly get on excellent (steep and fairly technical though) mountain trails right from town! Green Mtn, Flagstaff, Bear Peak, Mt. Sanitas....some of those crack 8,000'. Sure, if you want over 8500'-10,000' you're going to have to drive up to Peak to Peak though...almost ski season up there now though!
Mt Sanitas - a great place to run up at 7am but beware of the walk down because too many walkers show up and start their climbs by 7:30am.
I would share the better spots in CO but I dont want people coming here and ruining it. We have enough entitled dumbasses on the trails who never bother to look over their shoulder and walk 2-3 abreast.
