Hike Betasso Preserve Canyon Loop

Haven't hiked this trail in years! Ed Robb will lead while I'm off on another Baby Boomer adventure!

Betasso Preserve Canyon Loop is a moderate 4 mile trail with about 600 feet of elevation gain. This trail offers scenic views of the Boulder foothills and canyons. There's ample parking spots, restrooms available at the main trailhead and several picnic tables are located near the parking lots.

Dog Free Hikes...Please leave your baby dogs at home for Baby Boomer hikes.

Directions to the Trailhead: In Boulder take Canyon Blvd. (CO 119) into Boulder Canyon, traveling 5.3 miles to Sugarloaf Rd. (just past Magnolia); turn right (north), and follow Sugarloaf Rd. for 0.9 mile to Betasso Rd. Turn right (east) on Betasso Rd., and follow it for 0.5 mile to an open gate on the left (north). Go through the gate, following the preserve road for 0.1 mile to the Canyon Loop Trail parking area. Additional parking is available 0.2 mile east of the preserve's main entrance.
Restrooms available at the trail head.

Carpooling: Arrange a carpool from your neighborhood and meet the group in the parking lot.

What else should you bring... Colorado weather changes quickly so come prepared with appropriate hiking clothing, waterproof boots, hiking poles, microspikes, snowshoes, backpack and snacks, and water. Make sure you have in your pack in case you need it - snow gear, hat, gloves, extra socks, and extra layers, etc. Make it the best experience possible by being prepared!
