Open Space Mountain Parks completed significant repairs to Boulder Falls Trail last year and reopened it to the public for the first time in five years.

The repairs this summer built on what crews repaired after the 2013 floods and included the installation of railing along the entire trail, stair construction, and fence installation. Initially, the trail was expected to remain closed until Sept. 6 but repairs were completed early.
