Has anyone ever heard of a place called Ladybug Hill up around Boulder? My granddad (81yrs) keeps talking about this trail he ran back in the day. Way back in the day when he was a member of the Mile High Jeep Club when it had about 15 members total. I have looked on maps with no luck. I think it may have been a slang name for the trail.

Could be this hiking trail near NCAR,

That would probably be before the NCAR building was built in the 1960s.

There's a Lady Bug Mine near Jamestown. County Road 87 and 87J, off James Canyon Drive, head up toward it. There're a couple of FS spurs off 87J.

THANKS GUYS! Those are probably the best options. I wish my granddad's memory was not so shotty. It sounds like a cool place. Getting old sucks.
