Trail Overview
This 6.2 mile road connects the Upper Galena area to the Little Boulder road via a gentle downhill (or uphill if you are coming from Boulder) grade to the Little Boulder Road. It is a beautiful trip through dense stands of Douglas Fir trees, becoming intermixed with stands of aspen and a few cedars at lower elevations. The tread is a full single lane dirt road with a few easy rutted and rocky places. Passing oncoming traffic is easy in most places. This road is suitable for all high-clearance vehicles.
Difficulty
This road is generally a wide single-lane route, but as it approaches Little Boulder Creek the canyon narrows along with the road. In this short stretch, travelers will encounter a few rutted and rocky sections.
