Go Take A Hike! A Virtual One On Some Of Boulder’s Most Beloved Trails

Screen Shot 2016-04-22 at 11.52.55 AM
An image from one of the many virtual hikes along Boulder trails, thanks to Google!

In the summer of 2015 Google partnered with Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) to map some of the city’s trails. OSMP provided information on our trails, along with recommendations for areas to map. Google conducted the mapping for this pilot effort. The city is exploring the possibility that more OSMP trails could be mapped. Here are the trails you can walk virtually:

Enjoy The Boulder Star From Far Away and Close Up!

Screen Shot 2015-11-23 at 2.25.50 PM

 

This iconic star watches over Boulder in the winter. Lit starting in November this can be a fun night hike! This moderate hike has two possible approaches. Each one is about 1.2 miles (one way) with roughly 900 feet of elevation gain. Cold temperatures and icy trails call for a little extra gear and preparation, but that’s just part of the fun.
