Where North Broadway Runs Out, the Foothills Begin

Step off the north end of Broadway and the suburban grid gives way to open hillside within a single block — that proximity is the quiet luxury of living in 80304. Three OSMP trailheads put NoBo residents in the foothills within minutes, from a gentle meadow loop suited to any pace to a 1,323-foot summit grind you can finish before 7:30 a.m. Boulder's Open Space and Mountain Parks program maintains access at three distinct points within easy reach of the zip code: the Centennial Trailhead on Sunshine Canyon Road for Mount Sanitas, the Foothills Trailhead at the top of North Broadway for the Hogback Ridge system, and the Wonderland Lake Trailhead at 4201 N. Broadway, Boulder, CO 80304 for the Old Kiln and lake loop routes. Each connects 80304 residents to a different character of foothills terrain, and each carries its own dog regulations worth knowing before you load the car.
