Bear Peak via Shadow Canyon Trail

Post by awake »

I read that the Shadow Canyon Trail was closed back in 2013 due to erosion from the Flagstaff Fire. Does anybody know if it's still closed?

If so, any suggestions for alternative routes (or comparable climbs in the area)?

Thanks.

As far as I know it's open.

A comparable trail would be Fern Trail to the north, which ascends Bear Peak.

Most Boulder OSMP trails are now open, but a few still remain closed (e.g. Royal Arch) ...please consult their web page...

It's open, albeit a little more technical, than before the flood. Fun trail, though!
