Drove to the top on the winding road, but it was worth it for the views when we went hiking at the top on a few trails.

Up on this mountain you get the views, it's very quiet and twisting roads up behind the flat irons and there's a pretty nice restaurant on top.
The trip is a beautiful drive up to the top of Flagstaff Mountain with a trail crossing the road making it's way to the top. So, you can either hike up or many people bike, (not for the faint of heart) by the way I always go up in a car. There are many trails heads on the way up...

Take a short drive up Flagstaff and you can look over Boulder from above. Along the switchbacks going up there at tons of bouldering spots just 5-10 mins drive out of town. Obvious trails and chalk marks make finding problems easy to find. I highly recommend driving up at night to get a view of Boulder's lights.
This is a beautiful drive with many great places to pull over. Just a few steps out of your car are beautiful outlooks so bring your camera. If you're on a bike the road is narrow but drivers and cyclists are one here! There is a dirt road on the left at the top that leads to Coors reservoir where...

If your looking for a great veiw of boulder colorado, flagstaff is the place to go! It is most beutiful at night, looking down at all of the city lights. It is also a very pretty place to go hikeing, bikeing and rockclibing!
I would have to say that it is a nice payoff (great views) for the easy drive and short hikes around the top of the mountain. It of course can be crowded at times - especially in fabulous weather. But if you have a mixed age group in tow, this is a pleasant trip that accommodate most everyone.
I hike up and down Flagstaff frequently. Awesome workout with terrific views at every turn. This is also a fun drive. Oh, and don't forget the rock climbing!
Worth a stop while in the Boulder area. While road to the top is closed for season, short walk up pays off with terrific scenery and gorgeous views. Easy walk or all ages.
