Flagstaff Summit and Boulder Falls closed for the winter
The City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) announces the annual closure of Flagstaff Summit to vehicular traffic and Boulder Falls to all visitors. These closures have been put into in effect as of Oct. 26 due to the recent heavy snowfall. Both facilities will reopen on May 1, 2012.
Flagstaff Summit Road has been closed at Realization Point. This is an annual closure to allow wildlife on the summit to have a less stressful winter. Also, the road from Realization Point to the summit is narrow and can be icy and dangerous during the winter. It is not maintained for vehicle access. Visitors will still be able to walk or bike to the summit. Dogs must be on leash on the road.
Boulder Falls has also been closed for the season. This trail can be very icy and dangerous for most of the winter due to the buildup of snow and ice on the trail tread. The falls can still be viewed from State Hwy. 119.
