Flagstaff Mountain
Description
This meandering mountain road frequented by drivers, bicyclists and ambitious inline skaters offers stunning daytime and nighttime views of Boulder, Denver and the mountains. Attractions include picnic areas, mountain bike trails and the Summit Nature Center, which is open weekends from May to August. The Flagstaff House , one of Boulder's more romantic dining destinations, is also situated along this scenic road. To get here, follow Baseline Road west; it winds and hairpins more than 1,600 feet to the summit.
Beautiful scenery, ampitheater is amazing. Views of Boulder and the Rocky Mtns are absolutely supurb. The only cost associated with the visit and use of the park areas is the $3 fee. It's well worth the money and helps maintain the roads and park areas.
The view is terrific and the air is refreshing. There were many hairpin turns and that was okay until our rental car lost its brakes. Not fun. Scariest thing ever to happen to me!
Fly into Denver...drive immediately to Boulder...stop at Daddy Bruce's for some take out Bar-B-Q...pick up a sixer and head up Flagstaff Mountain. Heaven!
