Route Description for Boulder Creek Path
Boulder Creek Path runs straight through Eben G. Fine Park. This city park is a convenient start to this easy, family-friendly hike just outside Boulder.
Take the Boulder Creek Path west towards Boulder Canyon. This section of the path is paved as it follows along the creek and eventually turns up Boulder Canyon. After running parallel with Boulder Canyon Dr., the path dips under the road and the paved path gives way to a wide gravel path which is also the start to the Boulder Canyon Trail. The trail also separates away from the road, giving you some distance from the noisy canyon traffic.
Once hiking along the Boulder Creek Path, you are hiking along Boulder Creek and are right next to large rock faces, which make up the canyon walls. The path takes you across a bridge and back under Boulder Canyon Drive as you continue the easy hike up the canyon. The trail ends at Fourmile Canyon.
To return, hike back the way you came.
