Description

This short section of gravel doubletrack does well in all-weather and is a valued connector for Broomfield residents seeking access to the Rock Creek Farm loop and other Boulder County trails. The trail is a flowy, fun downhill as you head northwest. Of course, the return from the Dry Creek Trail junction to Broomfield, heading southeast, is all uphill toward the Broomfield water tanks - climbing legs are necessary.
