Boulder County open space closures in place due to extreme fire danger

Red Flag warning in effect, Wednesday, Oct. 21.

Boulder County, Colo. - Due to the extreme fire danger and in accord with the United States Forest Service closure announcement, Boulder County Parks & Open Space have closed the following properties to public use until further notice:

Anne U. White
Bald Mountain
Caribou Ranch
Castle Rock climbing area
Grassy Top
Hall Ranch
Heil Valley Ranch
Hessie trailhead
Mud Lake
Reynolds Ranch
Sugarloaf Mountain
The City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks has also closed the Fourth of July trailhead.

Please honor all temporary public lands closures. Between COVID-19 and active wildfires, public safety resources are already strained. There will be increased ranger patrol in all closure areas.

Please support first responders by practicing responsible recreation and avoiding any fire-related activities. During this challenging time, help emergency personnel by staying away from active fire areas and recreating only in the eastern parts of Boulder County.
