Flatirons Hiking

So this week, my older brother Karl was in town. Having graduated from CU in 2005, the guy knows Boulder and its surrounding activities pretty well, mainly focusing on everything outdoors. I requested that we hike the flatirons- I've seen the pictures from tons of friends who had done it, and I wanted to get my very own picture of our lovely campus from the mountains!
The view of Boulder from the top was breathtaking or rather, I was just still out of breath from the climbing up the trail, which was steep and rocky but not excruciatingly difficult. The only major danger we faced resulted in some kid pushing a relatively huge (think big watermelon-sized) rock off the trail above us and failing to warn anyone below of the boulder of death hurling down the mountain.
Luckily, the rest of the hike went on without incident and was definitely worth the climb for the gorgeous view of Boulder you get at the end!
