Boulder Ramblers was founded in 2015 by Colorado-based Walk2Connect in partnership with the City of Boulder. For six years, we operated as the Boulder chapter of Walk2Connect, offering free community walking, hiking, and rambling trips in and throughout Boulder County, CO, with a focus on building genuine connections to others, to the places we live, and to ourselves. In 2021, the Boulder Ramblers community assumed ownership of this group to keep rambling together!
Our community members host walks, hikes, and urban adventures every week throughout the year. Check our calendar to find what's coming up. We focus on urban hiking: exploring the quiet streets, multi-use paths, and trail systems east of the foothills (with some adventures in the higher elevations within Boulder city limits). Please be sure to read the walk/hike descriptions carefully to determine whether a particular adventure is right for you. We tend to move at a steady "fitness" pace (2.5-3 MPH), unless otherwise noted.
This group offers great ways to get to know local urban trail systems and find creative, appealing ways to connect destinations in Boulder, Louisville, Superior, Lafayette, and beyond by foot. We advocate for "life at 3 miles per hour," slowing down the pace of life to appreciate how we are connected to everything around us. We are a safe, welcoming and affirming community that supports people of all backgrounds, identities, and circumstances.
Check back often as new walks will be added throughout the year. Have a great idea for a walk or urban hike? We'd love to hear from you!
Walk On!

모두 보기- Walk 360 Slow MarathonFour Mile Creek Trail Head off of Lee Hill Drive, Boulder, CO
TYPE: Long Distance | PACE: Fitness/Conversational | TERRAIN: Sidewalks, dirt trails, paved multi-use paths | DISTANCE: Approx. 26 miles
Celebrate Walk and Bike Month by walking ALL the way around Boulder on the 26-mile Walk 360 Slow Marathon!
On Saturday, June 28, we'll go on a grand all-day adventure, walking counter-clockwise around the city on the Walk 360 route (see the full route map here, with section timings). We'll traverse every kind of walking surface in the city, explore diverse neighborhoods and enjoy cool parks and open spaces along Boulder's urban edges.
The Walk 360 gives Boulder walkers a whole new perspective on the city, demonstrating people-friendly connections among destinations and safe ways to get around Boulder's busiest streets by foot. We'll have plenty of places to stop for breaks and water along the way, and we'll take a lunch break in South Boulder.
Registration is required and is free. Everyone who completes the route will receive a Walk 360 sticker. Challenge yourself to this one-of-a-kind adventure! Psych yourself up by watching this wonderful video of the Walk 360, made by John Simmerman of Active Towns in 2021.
Schedule and Planning: We'll meet at Four Mile Canyon Creek Trailhead at 7:00 a.m. and finish the full loop by 6:00 p.m. We'll walk counter-clockwise, going from Lee Hill Drive to North Boulder Park, on to Chautauqua, South Boulder Recreation Center, East Boulder Recreation Center, Valmont Bike Park, and back to the starting place. Be sure to drink plenty of water on the days leading up to the event, and use the restroom before showing up at Four Mile Canyon Creek, as there are no facilities on site.
Walking Movement Leaders: This event will be led by experienced Ramblers, including Darcy, who created the Walk 360 in 2017. She is the author of "The Best Urban Hikes: Boulder." You can reach Darcy at (720) 805-8293 or besturbanhikesboulder@gmail.com.
