Best Front Range Trail Conditions Reports

By January 27, 2020Blog

Here in the Front Range a lot of us put our mountain bikes away for winter and break out the skis. Don’t be fooled! There is still a lot of great riding to be had after the first snowfall. Sunshine is one of Colorado’s great gifts: we see so much sun during winter months, our trails are often rideable through a large portion of the colder months. And yet, nothing is more annoying than pulling up to your favorite trailhead only to find the gates locked. Checking trail conditions will save you time, and protect our trails.

To find dry dirt, we rely on the following front range trail conditions resources:

303 Trail Monitor

This is a collection of crowd sourced information about trails in the front range and sometimes beyond. This is the most helpful resource we have found. It provides the most up to date data and the most detail. The only downside, as with most social media is that you may have to wade through some bickering amongst group members. This is a group that you have to be accepted in to by the admins so be sure to submit your request before you need to know the conditions!

Bouldercounty.gov

This is most helpful for the Marshall Mesa trail system and the trails near the Boulder reservoir. It provides an interactive map that will show closed trails in red. Unfortunately this resource is fairly narrow in the scope of trails that it covers.

Not only is this application useful for finding your way out on the trail, it also has trail conditions. It tends not to get updated as frequently for our local trails. We use this to find beta on trails outside of Boulder.
