Early season in Colorado, otherwise known as mud season, is characterized by snow-clogged trails, muddy trails, and fast-moving water crossings. Or you can seek out low elevation hikes with good sun exposure. I've written about how Avalanche Creek is one of those. Several more can be found in Glenwood Canyon.
No Name Creek, Grizzly Creek, and Hanging Lake/Dead Horse Creek are some of the trails that lead north from the Colorado River into the Flat Tops wilderness.
