City of Boulder’s Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) department opened trails on Mount Sanitas today; department will open many more trails in the days ahead
The City of Boulder is making headway in allowing visitors to return to its extensive network of trails by opening key trails on Mount Sanitas today. On Tuesday, OSMP opened:
- The Mount Sanitas, Dakota Ridge, East Ridge and the Goat trails on Mount Sanitas. However, the Centennial trailhead parking area remains closed. Visitors to Sanitas trails must walk into the trail area.

All open trails are listed at http://bit.ly/15msF85 and at BoulderFloodInfo.net. Please check either of these websites for more updates.
Newly opened trails will be accessible from dawn to dusk, and visitors must remain on-trail because of safety risks. All other OSMP trails not listed at http://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.
