Flagstaff Mountain offers the best views of Boulder (at least the best without a major hike or climb). There hiking trails available. Be sure to stop at some of the overlooks. Watch out for bicyclists and cars towing boats. Vehicles that are not registered in the city of Boulder have to pay for parking.
This is a gruelling ride on a bike or a lovely drive in a car, with a short walk at the top. It is highly worth the visit. There are quite magic picnic tables right at the top with views across the Rockies or overlooking Denver. A must do for any trip to Boulder.
Excellent service, the duck I had was the best ever. wonderful views of the Boulder valley, have room on your credit card
You won't regret a visit to Flagstaff Mountain. There are several places to pull off the road and hike or just sit at picnic tables and stone shelters to enjoy the stunning views of town and mountains.
A must if you are in the Boulder area. The drive is gorgeous, especially in the winter. But it can be a bit icy, so go slow or have a four wheel drive. Gorgeous views and a hike at the top.
The drive up was icy and a little scary. Plan on having 4 wheel drive. We didn't and we got stuck in a snow bank. We were rescued and were close enough to the top that we could walk up the final switchback. The view is breathtaking especially with the snow. I definitely wouldn't mind checking it out in summer when I'm less worried about sliding off the mountain or falling off the edge because of ice. Worth it though.
The views are stunning and many paths are wheelchair accessible. Pictures here make it easy for a person to look like a pro. Nice folks along the trail in a friendly community.
This is a great place to drive up to when visiting Boulder. It's a short drive, but gets you to some great hiking trails and wonderful views of Boulder Valley. If you are time constrained and have people visiting Boulder for the first time, this is a wonderful place to take them. Be sure to take them to the amphitheater at the peak. Great spot.
Take a trek to the Boulder Star during the holidays or simply drive up to take in the view of the city at night or the sunrise.
Loved the views and experience. Worth the trip for me. Disliked nerve wracking drive up baseline with cars honking at times when it wasn't safe to pass cyclists. But still, worth doing in my book.
