Description
Some fields, lots of woods, rocky sections, and lordy! look out for the slime on those creek crossings! This is a pretty neat trail, several climbs that will work your legs little, a lot of twisties to keep you awake, or smack you awake should you doze. A few fast sections, too, just to keep it from being all work. There are two loops marked for different skill levels. Folow RED for the entire Boulder experience; all the hills, rocky descents, dips, and wet creek crossings. Following the BLIE bypasses the harder stuff, mostly friendly enough for the whole family.
- A - main loop, begins and ends at trail head - red & blue
- B - northeast corner - red & blue
- C - north side, west of section B - red only
- D - southeast corner, at south end of levee - red only
- E - south side (behind Concord Church) - red and blue
Facilities
• None at the trailhead.
• Restaurants, gas, etc on Camp Wisdom Road, at the Southern end of Pastor Bailey Drive.

Thanks traveler420. Boulder is one of my favorites, too, but I'm a walking allergy, so the over growth out there really makes me itch, not just poison ivy. Maybe next weekend I can spend some time out there trimming.

Anyone know if the trail has been trimmed any in the last month? Last time I rode out there, I itched for a week.
Since rider-x didn't go I will offer up my report... I last rode on the 8th of August and the face slappers hadn't been touch in awhile. I haven't seen a work day since then so I imagine it's gotten worse, but is still very ridable. I never got any poison ivy or anything that made me itch personally, but I have no allergies to anything either, and poison ivy usually doesn't get me unless it's a big patch or I roll around in it. Sucks that you had an issue.
I would say strap on some eye protection, lather up in some Ivy Block and go get some, if I wasn't busy at Sansom getting ready for race day, I would gladly join you, Boulder is def one of my favorite trails.
Happy trails!

What's the status of this trail? Will it be open this afternoon? We had a little bit of rain this morning, so I just wanted to make sure it's not closed. Thanks.

There are a lot of face slappers out there now....We have sprayed several sections of poison ivy over the last couple of months and I think we killed a good bit of the really bad poison ivy...but there is still some lurking.
If anyone wants to do some trail trimming...count me in.
