ボルダー郡の峡谷・トップ5

The Rattlesnake Gulch Trail dead ends at this overlook situated over South Boulder Creek and Eldorado Springs and overlooking South Boulder Peak. There are a few different overlooks on the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail.

There is a steep nontechnical ascent here near the falls. If you hit this trail heading southwest you will have generally steeper uphills and more rolling descents.

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.

This section of the popular Lefthand Canyon is a long, but scenic climb with increasingly good views of the often-snowcapped Indian Peaks the closer you get to Ward. Ward is a tiny mountain town just off the Peak to Peak highway with a cyclist-friendly general store. This section is also super, super fun to fly down, but be aware deer in the road and cars.

Eldorado Canyon State Park offers technical climbing, walks along wild rivers and panoramic views, in a beautiful canyon.

In the Eldorado Canyon, this path offers you absolutely superb views of the canyon, and other part of the state park.

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!
