Self-Guided Mystery & History
CU & Downtown Overview Map
This route starts from the CU Hill area, across from the Limelight and Moxy Hotels, on Broadway. The entire figure eight loop is approximately 7 miles, riding through part of campus, the beautiful Boulder Creek path and to historic landmarks in downtown.
Below is an OVERVIEW MAP of the walk. However, navigation is best if you use the section maps below for each leg of your ride.

Once you are ready to start, click on the section map for each leg (scroll down) and activate audio navigation, ideally with your phone mounted to the handlebars so you can easily hear the audio instructions and glance down occasionally to check you are on track. Otherwise, a chest pocket with the volume all the way up works fairly well.
PLEASE LOCK BIKES SECURELY ANYTIME YOU LEAVE THE BIKE AND DON'T LEAVE YOUR PHONE ON YOUR HANDLEBARS
LEG #16 - FINAL LEG
FROM DUSHANBE TEA HOUSE BACK TO STARTING POINT (THE HILL)
Contrary to the map, you don’t have to take a right on Arapahoe. You can just use the crosswalk and connect with the path that climbs back up to your starting point on The Hill there
