Description
This popular, moderate 6.7-mile trail offers virtually everything an outdoor enthusiast could ask for: diverse terrain, 4-season access, multiple trail connections, and abundant wildlife. Consider an adventure on the Boulder Flatiron Hiking Mega-Classic with your group! Some of the famous canyons, mountains, and sites we will pass along the way include: Green Mountain, Bear Peak, South Boulder Peak, Skunk Canyon, NCAR, Mallory Cave, Fern Canyon, and Shadow Canyon. The Mesa Trail, Boulder’s main north-south trail artery, is one of Boulder’s best hikes, tracing a lengthy section of its famous Flatirons, Front Range Foothills, and City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks. We’ll begin at either end of the Mesa Trail – Chautauqua Park (north trailhead), or near the mouth of Eldorado Canyon (south trailhead) – and hike 6.7 miles one-way beneath hundreds of large, sandstone rock formations called flatirons. The terrain is rolling and varied, but mainly through sparse forest and grassy hillsides with views to the open plains to the east, and Boulder’s three main peaks and the flatiron formations that sit on their shoulders to the west.
