The Hessie Shuttle is Back

UPDATE: The bus now runs to and from Nederland Park-n-Ride, 300 Jackson Street, and Saturday hours have been shortened because their is less daylight in the fall. The last bus runs at 6 pm. Also, buses run every 20 minutes instead of 15 some parts of the day.

Starting this Saturday, June 7 and running until Sunday, October 5, the free Hessie Shuttle runs from Nederland High School to the Hessie Trailhead, an entry point to the Indian Peaks Wilderness. The bus runs every 15 minutes from 8 to 8 on Saturdays and 8 to 6 on Sundays and holidays. To make this a bus only trip, take the N bus from Boulder. Unfortunately, the N is not a free bus although it does take EcoPasses.

Car-free Hiking

Update: On September 28, the shuttle will leave from Nederland's RTD Park-n-Ride at 2nd and Jackson in downtown Nederland instead of Nederland High School.

Saturday service now ends at 6 pm.


Remember the free shuttle to the Hessie Trailhead. Well it is back and will stay even longer this year, until October 6. The shuttle runs every 15 minutes from Nederland High School/Middle School on Saturdays (8-6)  and Sundays (8-6) as well as July 4 and September 2. And your dog can go too (on leash). The Hessie Trailhead is the entryway to multiple trails that lead to such US Forest Service lands such as the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area, Devils Thumb, and Diamond Lake.

RTD's N Route stops at Nederland High School/Middle School also, for a car-free day. No dogs on RTD however.
