Road Cycling Highlight (Segment)
Recommended by Michael Murray
This Highlight goes through a protected area
Please check local regulations for: Roosevelt National Forest
Location: St. Ann Highlands, Boulder County, Colorado, United States
After transitioning from the bike path (if you choose to do the initial section of Boulder Canyon Drive on it) the road steadily steepens as you climb up toward Nederland. Please watch out for rocks in the road, cars, and wildlife. Although this is a poplar cycling route, there are lots of cars and frequently no shoulder so be aware of your surroundings when climbing or descending.

the first part of boulder canyon is actually pretty mellow but around d the halfway mark it starts to steepen and I just didn't have the steam to make it any further. one of these days I will make it all the way up!
