A scenic, moderately difficult trail that is 3.5 miles long (one way). It gains over 1,000 feet in elevation and intersects the Boulder County Parks' Walker Ranch Loop Trail (http://thoos.com/hiking/places/Walker+Ranch). You can also access our Crescent Meadows property via the Eldorado Canyon Trail.

Directions (from Boulder) - Take Colorado 93 south from Boulder, turn right on Colorado 170 and continue to the park entrance west of Eldorado Springs, about eight miles southwest of Boulder.

Directions (from Denver) - Take I-25 North to State Highway 36, West towards Boulder. Exit at "Louisville-Superior" and turn South (left) at the light. Take the first right (West) onto State Highway 170 fro 7.4 miles to Eldorado Canyon. Continue one mile through the canyon to the visitors center.
