Do you often wonder how the heck do I get up the mountain by those houses or just want a nice drive into the Rockies?
Will here is a simple drive right in our own backyard.
Just past Chautauqua park, this little drive had me quite amazed with all the spectacular views of Boulder and its Flatirons.
Taking Highway 36W into Boulder, simply take a left on Baseline Road and follow it all the way up the mountains.
There are numerous stops along the road to have a picnic or to just take in those amazing views just a mile or so up the hill.
If you are really feeling adventurous, keep going up the mountain, there's the famous Flagstaff House, an acclaimed restaurant also with great views of Boulder.
I was feeling quite the curious George and decided to keep driving, about 30 minutes in I found another scenic area that had some amazing views of Longs Peak.
This was a great afternoon trip for the nature lover and adventurer.
Please mind the bicyclist and the twisty roads; these roads don't leave much room for error and its a long way down. Take your time and enjoy the sights.
