Dry Trails. Have fun!
Trails are muddy/wet in spots. Travel through the mud, not around it.
Trails have long, continuous areas of mud. Severe resource damage is likely. TRAIL USE IS DISCOURAGED!
|
If you want to know if the trail's in great shape today, or find out what construction is going on, or which outdoor festival has ganked your favorite trail for the day, this is the place to check it out! We have a convenient system for you to quickly see if the trail you are thinking of is dry right now.
Just like our friends at Boulder County Parks and Open Space, Boulder Mountainbike Alliance describes trail conditions using a meter. Even better than the trail meter, the trail-specific comments and the trail news feed tell you what's going on and how it's going to affect your ride!
Our Bike Patrollers are out there riding the trails and reporting conditions here whenever anything changes. But... we can't be every place all the time, so if you have some conditions to report, please let everyone know what you observed! Simply click "Edit Trail Condition" next to any trail you were just at and change it to reflect the conditions!

It's great right now with the recent warm weather. Ride it in combo with the lower Eagle and the Sage trail for a good figure-8. Stay off the connecting Lefthand and the Eagle climb to the Mesa till the weather stays warm for a week longer. | 133 days, 20 hours, 3 minutes | Edit Trail Condition |

Re-route at 1 mile marker is coming along and rides really well in my opinion. Above 2 mile marker is still pretty rough and it seems like all the dirt is gone through the "tree cut" area, leaving it really rough..... but the rest of the trail is some of the best riding around! | 25 days, 8 hours, 37 minutes | Edit Trail Condition |

Please Help Us Help You
People in the Boulder area love their trails. Sometimes, we love them to death by hiking, riding, or equestriating on them when they are way too muddy to handle it. Our job at BMA is to make great, sustainable trails and to fight for access for bikers to the great open space we have here.
Everyday, we fight against the stigma that mountain bikers are a bunch of out of control ruffians hell-bent on ruining the trails in Boulder County. The truth is that unlike other areas in the Country, the kind of dirt we have here in Boulder cannot handle traffic when it's soaked. So please just ride someplace else if the trail is sloppy. We cannot emphasize it enough - during spring or other rainy/wet times of the year, please consult this site before you ride!
