To say that parking at Boulder’s popular Chautauqua is limited does not even begin to describe the challenges in finding a space. To solve the problem, the city operates the FREE Park-to-Park hiker shuttle between downtown Boulder and Chautauqua trailhead between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays all summer long. It runs every 15 minutes.
For 2024, the shuttle begins operating Saturday, May 25, 2024, and runs through Monday, September 2.
Included holidays are Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day and Labor Day.
The shuttle picks up riders at several stops around Boulder as well as from the New Vista High School Parking lot (700 20th St.), the CU Regent parking lot (Regent Drive just east of Broadway) and the downtown Boulder parking garages.
Beginning in 2024, the shuttle now travels on a new route along Broadway instead of 9th Street and features new stops closer to the Chautauqua trailhead and Chautauqua Dining Hall.
Remember that parking in downtown Boulder parking garages and at the satellite parking lots (New Vista High School and CU Regent lot) is FREE on weekends and holidays.
