Trail Description

This short, gentle loop pairs the Eagle Trail with the Mesa Reservoir Trail to circumnavigate Mesa Reservoir. It provides great views over Boulder Valley Ranch, the Flatirons and Boulder Reservoir. Hike through dry fields of yucca and prairie grass to view waterfowl and frogs down at the reservoir, which is intermittently filled with rainwater. You may also see prairie dogs, birds of prey and snakes.
