Eldorado Canyon Information and Facilities: (845 acres) Eldorado Canyon State Park is divided into two distinct land areas. The more familiar is known as the Inner Canyon and is located on the east side of the Flatirons rock formation just south of Boulder. There is a park office, picnic sites, and several trails that can be hiked. This area is known for technical rock climbing. The western part of the park is located further west in the foothills. It is the larger of the two acreages and is known as Crescent Meadows. This part of the park is different than the canyon. It is an open area, with rolling hills covered with flowers during the spring. No facilities are located in the Crescent Meadows section and no camping is permitted. Normal park fees apply and entering the park by foot requires that you purchase a walk-in pass. How to get there: Eldorado Canyon is 20 miles from Denver and only 4 miles south of the Boulder city limits. Take CO93, a mile or so before the Boulder city limits turn west on CO170 for three miles through Eldorado Springs to the park entrance. Crescent Meadows can be reached from the junction of CO93 and CO72 (Coal Creek Canyon Road). Drive west on CO72 for 7.5 miles to Coal Creek. Turn right on Crescent Park Drive and follow the road up the hill to an intersection with the Gross Dam Road. Turn right and continue for 1.7 miles across the railroad tracks to the park entrance.
