Royal Arch

Hiking Trail

Details
3.29 mi
1,443 ft
The Royal Arch hike is Boulder at its best. You’ll trek to a natural stone arch with views of the city, the famous Flatirons, and the valley to the east. The trail follows an out and back route. There are consistently steep grades throughout, so most consider this a hard hike. This hike is one of the most popular in the area with local Strava members and visitors from out of town. Take a look at the photos from the community to get a sense of what you’ll see along the way.
