Although many road cyclists prefer to ride on the narrow, twisting, and well-trafficked road, the recently re-opened Boulder Creek Path, which takes you up to Chapman Drive, is an excellent alternative to what can sometimes be a dangerous-feeling road down the narrow Boulder Canyon. The bike path, which is a mix of concrete and finely-crushed gravel, traverses next to Boulder Creek, crossing under the highway a few times. Sometimes on busy days you can actually move faster on the descent via this path because you're not sitting in traffic with the cars!
