There are some decent trails near the metro area that are some seriously good day hikes. My personal favorite is Devil's Thumb loop in Boulder. a good 4,200' vertical gain, and a total of roughly ten miles. I hiked it in about seven hours. A more fit individual could achieve that in five to six hours. Although I can't comment on the trail quality ever since the Flagstaff fire.
