Ascending Hikes – Eldorado Canyon SP - Eldorado Canyon Trail to Boulder Falls

For more information on the CMC Ascending Hikes Section: Ascending Hikes Section — The Colorado Mountain Club (cmc.org)

We'll be hiking the Eldorado Canyon Trail staring in Eldorado Canyon State Park. We'll make our way to a great overlook of Eldorado Canyon with views to Denver and then descend (~600 ft) to Boulder Falls in Walker Ranch. We'll stop for lunch/snack at the falls. Our pace will be determined by the strength, stamina, and endurance of the group. We'll return to our cars along the same route. This trail passes through three jurisdictions: Eldorado Canyon State Park, Boulder (City) Open Space and Mountain Parks, and Boulder County Parks and Open Space.
