Know Before You Go!

Planning a visit to Boulder’s Open Space and Mountain Parks? Now you can see real-time parking and weather conditions at area trailheads before heading out.

City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks’ trailhead cameras help you see what's happening at some of your favorite trailheads—so you can better plan your visit and enjoy Boulder’s remarkable open space. Trailhead cameras have been installed in high-use areas where feasible, based on available power and infrastructure. More cameras are expected to be installed in the coming months.
