Boulder Falls Closed Temporarily Due to Rockslide, City of Boulder Prioritizes Safety

The city of Boulder has announced the temporary closure of Boulder Falls in Boulder Canyon due to a rockslide that has recently rocked the area, leaving trail paths in disrepair. The Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) department is citing safety concerns for visitors after the soil movement caused by adverse weather damaged the infrastructure designed to prevent such natural disturbances, according to the

.

While the closure may dampen the plans of outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers, the move by OSMP is a precaution meant to prevent potential accidents and injuries on the compromised trails. The recent weather events that have likely triggered the soil movement were not specified, but they were significant enough to necessitate a reevaluation of the trails’ safety. The exact damage to trails and what repairs might be essential remains to be seen, as the OSMP is currently in the process of assessing the situation.

Visitors who frequent Boulder Falls are encouraged to find alternative trails and outdoor areas to explore while the closure is in effect. OSMP has reminded the public to visit their website at OSMPTrails.org to stay updated on the current trail closures and open spaces that are still available for recreational use.

According to the

, no timeline has been given for when Boulder Falls will be accessible again to the public. It is a waiting game for both the department and the residents as the assessment continues. This closure highlights the delicate balance between maintaining natural spaces for public enjoyment and ensuring the safety of those who wish to immerse themselves in Boulder’s scenic landscapes.
