Description

This is the closest ice to the City of Boulder you can find. Ice here is typically mediocre at best, but if you're looking to scratch on something local to the area, this could suffice. Please be respectful of the delicate and rare nature of this ice and landowners.

Getting There

From the city of Boulder, head West on Boulder Canyon Drive. Ice starts as early as approximately Eben G. Fine Park and goes until roughly the Dome/Elephant Buttress area. Various parking lots and pullouts can be used along the canyon road.
