Doudy Draw and Springbrook Loop Trail

Let's stay closer to Denver area and try the Doudy Draw to Springbrook Loop Trail for 5 miles and 597 feet of elevation gain in the Boulder Open Space.

The Doudy Draw Trail meanders southward along the draw to the junction with the Spring Brook Loop Trail. After the Spring Brook Loop junction, Doudy Draw crosses the creek and heads east up the slope to the Flatirons Vista Trails. This hike is rated moderate and goes through open stands of ponderosa pine on a savannah ecosystem. There could be muddy sections throughout the trail. Go through the mud to keep the surrounding vegetation alive.
