Hiking
 There
is something special to see in all parts of the Boulder Mountain
Parks, but some views that are especially nice include:
Chautauqua Meadow
Located just west of the Chautauqua Park Ranger Cottage,
Chautauqua Meadow affords spectacular views of the "Flatirons" rock
formations for which Boulder is famous, as well as views of the
Boulder Valley. Hikers may wish to take the Chautauqua Trail across
Chautauqua Meadow. Bluebell Mesa Trail is another scenic hiking
trail leading southwest across Chautauqua Meadow from Bluebell Road,
traversing up Bluebell Mesa to an excellent vista of the meadow and
the city below, as well as Flagstaff Mountain and the hogback ridges
to the north.

Panorama Point
This pulloff is located approximately 0.5 miles up Flagstaff
Road, and gives you a magnificent panoramic view of the
Boulder Valley. Hikers may access Panorama Point from spur
trails of the Flagstaff Trail. Bring your camera! The area
is accessible to wheelchair users.
