Doug W. • November 26, 2016Northern access to the South Boulder Creek Trail. Nice mellow hike. This trailhead gets crowded, you can also access it from the other end off Marshall Rd.

Jeremiah O. • February 27, 2017Great trails that meander through forests, grasslands, and mixed conifer-grassland. Access to the #Flatirons and other #FrontRange hiking trails.

Jean T. • April 22, 2012New parking lot configuration but you can still head out to the right on the Big Bluestem

Scott S. • August 20, 2014If you're a strong hiker and prefer to do a loop, ascend from the north and follow the sketchy trail around the back (west side). It's easy to pickup the main trail (southern tip) for your way down.

BoulderRunner • February 4, 2012Gregory Canyon is a short diversion from downtown Boulder but yields amazing views within a short distance

Francis K. • May 12, 2013tip: cyclists riding uphill have right of way. cyclists yield to all others (hikers, runners, equestrian's, yeti's, etc)
