Boulder Falls in Boulder Canyon due to rockslide

The City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) Department has temporarily closed the Boulder Falls area in Boulder Canyon due to a recent rockslide that has damaged the trail. This proactive visitor safety closure follows recent weather conditions that likely triggered soil movement, causing a slide that damaged key trail infrastructure designed to capture rocks and sediment from the hillside. Trails are always susceptible to natural hazards and weather events, and OSMP reminds visitors to stay alert while recreating outdoors.

OSMP is assessing trail damage to determine future repairs and maintenance work that might be necessary in the popular waterfall area west of Boulder. At this time, there is no estimated timeline for when the area may reopen, and more information will be provided once an assessment is completed. OSMP reminds community members to visit OSMPTrails.org to view current trail closures.
