Boulder opens new cycling trails designed for accessibility and adaptive riders

December 15, 2024

In mid-November, for the second time this year, the City of Boulder opened a new trail for cyclists.

The Cobalt Trail, previously closed to riders, was rerouted and designed with smoother, non-technical features for improved flow. Trail crews also revamped a washed-out section of the Eagle Trail, using modern trail-building techniques to accommodate cyclists and recreationists with disabilities.

As part of its North Trail Study Area Plan, published in 2016, Open Space and Mountain Parks has been working on reroutes at Boulder Valley Ranch to open more trails to cyclists and improve accessibility for adaptive cyclists and other trail users. BRL
