Chautauqua to Eldorado Canyon trail network, Boulder, CO.

34.45Miles
Dogs allowed on most trails
No Bikes allowed

Moderate to extreme trails. Many intersecting trails make this great for adventures of any time frame, but prepare for several hours to a full day if you plan on tackling any of the peaks. Chautauqua and Eldorado Canyon parking lots are always full on weekends but most people don't know to park at NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) so that lot always has space. Popular hikes include the First Flatiron, Green Mountain, Royal Arch, Mallory Cave, and Bear Peak.

Looking to connect this with even more trails? Check out Flagstaff Mountain to the North, and Dowdy Draw and Marshall Mesa to the South. Also consider the Boulder Skyline Traverse
