About This Trail

Imported description

Boulder has a holiday star on the flat irons. It is a good idea to visit the base of the star. The OSMP warns hikers not to climb the actual hill when there are lights affixed, and to avoid the dirt hill where there are unprepared individuals. The Halfway House is a nice place to sit and enjoy a nice view of the city. It is a wonderful hike, for adults and kids alike.
