Corona Hill Assessment

In September 2021, the town of Lyons made a request to Boulder County Parks & Open Space to reassess the potential for a trail across Corona Hill connecting the town to the Hall Ranch Open Space trailhead. This trail option was removed from past planning efforts because of natural resource concerns and the difficulty of building a sustainable trail on the steep slopes. However, to document the current conditions and to see if any conditions had significantly changed since previous assessments, Boulder County Parks & Open Space agreed to reassess the resources and trail options.
