Flagstaff Nature Center

5 stars for the views up around the nature center! Spectacular and easy and your car does all the work getting you up the hill. Cute nature center with some helpful exhibits. If you’re from out of town, you have to pay to park here, so grab the Park Mobile app before heading up the road if your mobile internet is spotty like mine.

Great spot, friendly volunteers with lots of local knowledge.

Includes some stuffed local animals, the mountain lion and bear are impressive, as are all the birds of prey.

Worth a visit when up near Flagstaff.

Seriously beautiful place. Nice trails and a good variety. Lovely lady working the nature center too.

Amazing views and easy access. Quite the squirrelly drive up though.

Boy Scout loop is a little bit over rated but May’s point is worth of visiting. Over there both city and snow mountain can be nicely viewed.

Great spot to do some short hikes. The Nature Center was cool, great for little kids. The host was super nice and very educated on the trails in the area. Trails in the area are fairly family friendly compared to other trails in the Boulder area, but still some great views.

This little-known gem on the summit of Flagstaff is run by osmp volunteers Fridays through Sundays during the summer. Need a trail map or recommendations? Need some activities for your kids? Want to be able to identify local flora and fauna? Want to know where the nearest bathroom is? The Flagstaff Nature Center can help you out!
(Note that non-Boulder County residents have to pay a $5 parking fee at Boulder Mountain Parks, so be sure to bring a check or cash, exact change).

Nice friendly people dispensing useful information

The drive up from Boulder was pretty intense for a couple of flat-landers from MI but the views were well worth it

Some of the best views in Boulder.

Amazing place to hike and get aerial views of Boulder!

Parking is accessible, great hiking path, great for a morning stroll, near by rangers great views

Awesome drive through the dragon tail road and love the scenery on the pull offs.

Great staff and volunteers at the nature center. Great animal information at the nature center.
