Located in Boulder Canyon and just a few minutes walk from the trailhead parking, Boulder Falls is a surprisingly roaring waterfall on North Boulder Creek. The falls are accessible most times of the year, and there is plenty of room for viewing even on more crowded days.

The Benjamin Trail Loop is as popular with mountain bikers as it is hikers. These long, swooping switchbacks are not as steep as the more direct route up and down the mountain on the east side of the loop. There a couple lookout areas a bit higher up this side of the loop. The Benjamin Trail Loop is only open to mountain bikers on certain days of the week; if you can avoid these days, the trails are much less congested.
