Marshall Mesa Trailhead: Marshall Mesa Loop
Boulder - Denver - Golden - Fort Collins - Lyons
The Marshall Valley, Community Ditch and Coal Seam trails form a short, multi-use loop through the Marshall Mesa area in southeast Boulder. Runners, cyclists and families will enjoy its mild grades, good trail conditions and rangy panoramas across Eldorado Canyon, northern foothills and distant snowcapped peaks. The Marshall Mesa Loop touches the Southern Grasslands Habitat Conservation Area, which protects the largest remaining parcel of intact grassland habitat in the Boulder area.
