Get gas, food, and drink first. From Broadway ST. in boulder go west (toward mountains) on baseline rd. this turns steeply into Flagstaff RD. with a lot of switch-backs. Follow through the charred forest till the road turns into Lakeshore DR. and to dirt. It will end in a parking lot, Walk the way you pulled into park, straight a head , or east. Find the trail and hike down to Gross Reservoir (no flip flops, ladies) .The "body contact with water" sign means your there. Get a walking start off, 35-40 foot drop, deep and cold. Pack In – Pack more out …please no littering Reservoir likely patrolled on weekends in summer (you can hear the boat coming) usually cool if your just not "SEEN" jumping.
