Run from Flatirons Vista to Eldorado Canyon

UPDATE: We will meet at South Mesa because Flatirons Vista is closed!

This Saturday we will be running from the Flatirons Vista Trailhead, south of Boulder on CO-93. We’ll string together a series of loops heading eventually into Eldorado Canyon for about 13 miles of beautiful trail. If you want a couple more miles you can add on the open part of Rattlesnake Gulch, and if you want less there are ample opportunities to cut it short! Plan for around 3 hours and 1300 feet vertical gain. The terrain is Boulder flat, and it’ll be all downhill on the way back!

We will start running from the Flatirons Vista Trailhead (39.9242, -105.2352) at 7:30am. To get there from Boulder, take CO-93 south and the trailhead is on the right just after the intersection with CO-128. Note that there is a $5 parking fee for cars not registered in Boulder County - post a comment below if you'd like to carpool from the free lot near Marshall Mesa (at CO-93 and CO-170).

Traction is optional but may be desired for the ice luge section on the Goshawk trail.

Dogs are allowed; you'll just need to take the same side of the Spring Brook loops instead of looping.

If the trails end up closed for mud I'll adjust the plan, so consider checking Meetup Friday night or Saturday morning when you get up.
