Lefthand / Boulder Canyons

Cycling Route

Details
51.41 mi
6,625 ft
A typical weekend ride in Boulder might look something like this. You head west and climb Lee Hill to Lefthand Canyon, head south on the Peak to Peak highway, and then descend back into town via the Boulder Canyon. You'll be bowled over by impressive views, and you'll definitely have earned a Pearl Street pastry or two!
