take 36 north out of boulder and a few miles outside take a left on left hand canyon, go up the canyon and your gonna come around a real sharp right hand curve its almost a hairpin, and on the right you will see a trail head sign, if you have a 4 wheel drive truck you can head up the trail a few hundred yards and park by the cable fence and go shoot whatever you like, just be sure to clean up your targets and casings

and watch out for all the gangsters testing out their birdman nyte sytes, using rocks 10 feet in front of them as targets

North out of Boulder and make a left on Left hand Canyon Rd. (It is the one with the resteraunt on the left side and the rock sales place is on the right just before the left turn.

Drive a couple miles up the road (Dont make any turns on to other roads) you will come around a sharp turn and see a National Forest Wooden sign. That is the entrance to where the jeepers drive in.

Now based on your vechicle (Its not a road for your typical city car) either park there off the asphalt and hike in or drive in till you see all the garbage and crap all the idiots leave park there behind to the wire rope after all the no shooting signs. It is right where the sharp left turn up the hill the jeepers take.

According to that map, I think it is still open and there are now new shooting restrictions ?

AFAIK Left Hand is closed and has been for a while now. So is the old Allenspark dump.

Left Hand has been closed since March.

Part of Lefthand Canyon near Boulder has been closed to recreational shooting because the irresponsible discharge of firearms has endangered people using an off-highway road nearby, U.S. Forest officials said.

The article posted is over 2 1/2 years old. It was my understanding that the FS had closed the old shooting area up LHC but had opened a new area further up the road. Isn't that the one by the steel cable?
