Boulder: South Boulder Creek Trail

This trail winds southward along a riparian corridor and is highlighted by self-guided interpretive displays. The area offers seasonal viewings of the bobolink, for which the first portion of the trail was named, and other ground nesting birds. Although an urban hike, this trail is a peaceful outing with plenty of wildlife, history, and beauty.
