Boulder, Colorado, in 2008

Pictures while visiting Boulder for the 2008 Space Weather Workshop.

Boulder Falls, a 20-meter high waterfall on Boulder Creek, off CO-119 west of Boulder. This was taken the day of a light May 1st snowfall.
Saddle Rock on the left, Green Mountain (2,482 meters high at the summit) on the right, seen from Crown Rock on Flagstaff Road near Boulder.
The view from Lost Gulch Overlook, further up Flagstaff Road, looking toward snow-covered peaks in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Closeup of Longs Peak, seen from Lost Gulch Overlook, 39 km away. Longs Peak is 4,346 meters high, the tallest mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park, and is depicted on the Colorado state quarter issued in 2006.
The Flatirons, seen from Chautauqua Meadow on Baseline Road. The First Flatiron, on the right, rises highest from this view; its peak is at about 2,210 meters altitude, about 480 meters higher than where this picture was taken. The Third Flatiron, going to the left, is the one catching some sunlight in this late afternoon view.
