Chapman Drive to Mays Point & Back via Tenderfoot

DIFFICULTY: about 8 to 8.5 miles with about 1,500 feet elevation gain. HIKE DESCRIPTION: This hike starts on Chapman Drive which is a gentle 2.6-mile ascent from the trailhead in Boulder Canyon to Realization Point. After Realization Point, we will hike the Ute Trail (which skirts the summit of Flagstaff Mountain) and Boyscout Trail to May’s Point for a fantastic mountain view (where we will take a break). Then we will hike back along the Range View and Tenderfoot Trails with views of the Indian Peaks, then back to Chapman Drive. This exact trail is not in alltrails.
