In the wake of historic rain and flooding, Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) has begun re-opening many area trails and will post updates on newly opened trails at http://bit.ly/15msF85.

 

Today, OSMP opened the following trails:

 

  • Wonderland Lake Loop
  • East Boulder Trail – Gunbarrel Farm
  • East Boulder Trail – Teller Farm (Valmont to Arapahoe)
  • Chautauqua – Baseline Trail
  • Chautauqua – Bluebell/Baird

 

Newly opened trails will be accessible from dawn to dusk, and visitors must remain on-trail because of safety risks. Trails will be closed at night because of hazards not visible in the dark. All other OSMP trails not listed athttp://bit.ly/15msF85 remain closed under an emergency order.

 

There are some potential safety risks on re-opened trails. These may include rocky and gullied terrain, as well as other potential hazards associated with a major flood event. OSMP stresses that the re-opened trails are substantially different from pre-flood conditions.
