Here we have a moderate hike from Chautauqua Park, a gateway to Boulder's open space trails, with a children's park and turf field nearby. The trailhead lot is adjacent, with paid parking starting at 8 AM. Along the way are views of the Flatirons, and a natural sandstone arch frames vistas over Boulder. The route climbs about 1,350 feet through shaded forest and Bluebell Canyon, over soil, roots, boulder steps, and smooth sandstone slabs.
A 6.7 km circular route from Boulder to walk, run or cycle, with 511 m of climbing.
