Located just south of downtown boulder is Marshall Mesa, a rolling mountain biking area that offers sweeping views towards the rocky outcrops known as the flatirons. The mesa (flat-topped hill) is a popular hub for local mountain bikers, connecting with several other bike trails in nearby Eldorado Canyon State Park.
If you are riding a gravel bike, keep in mind you will encounter some technical sections, so may need to hike a bike, but overall, it's flowy! E-bikes are not allowed on City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks trails.
