Trail Information
Trail is open year round, except after big snowstorms. Boulder Canyon runs along an old railroad, through the lower portion of the canyon. It is a dirt path, but it is wide enough to be used by myriad non-motorized hikers. Rock climbers often are seen climbing the many popular areas near the trail. The Boulder Canyon path becomes paved and exits through Eben G. Fine Park and continues through Central Park and onto the University of Colorado campus.
Directions
From Denver:
Take U. S. 36 west toward Boulder. Exit Colorado 119 south. There is a small parking area west of the intersection of 119 and Fourmile Canyon Drive.
