Tips

With access to both the Mount Sanitas and Red Rocks recreation areas, the Centennial Trailhead is one of the more popular free parking areas in the Boulder Open Space and Mountain Trails area. The parking area sees a lot of visitors and can be especially full on weekends.

Starting point for various trails, in addition to the "Mount Sanitas Trail" also the "Mount Sanitas Valley Trail", where you can easily view the mountains from below. If you want to sweat a bit, you can turn off from there to the “Dakota Ridge Trail”.
