Hiking



 

Marshall Mesa Loop/Cowdrey Draw Trail

 

This custom BNC hike is approximately 6 miles of easy hiking.

 

These trails form several miles of multi-use loops through the Marshall Mesa area in southeast Boulder. Runners, cyclists and families will enjoy mild grades, good trail conditions and rangy views across Eldorado Canyon, the Flatirons and Boulder foothills.

 

The Marshall Mesa Loop touches the Southern Grasslands Habitat Conservation Area, which protects the largest remaining parcel of intact grassland habitat in the Boulder area.

This tallgrass ecosystem once stretched eastward from the Rockies to Indiana, north to Canada and south through Texas. Today only 2% of its original composition remains, much of it re-purposed by man or overtaken by mixed grass prairie. Mule deer, coyote and prairie dogs are common in these prairies, which also support badger, ferret, burrowing owl and rattlesnakes.


Directions to Trailhead

The Marshall Mesa Trailhead is located just east of the intersection of Highway 93 and Marshall Road in south Boulder.
