Boulder fireworks viewing

Post by jomagam »

Anyone knows if Saddle Rock (on the trail up Green Mountain) is a good place to view the fireworks in Boulder tomorrow ? If not, then where from ? And about what time will they go off ?

That would be a fine spot, as would Royal Arch, top of the 1st or anywhere with a rocky perch able to see town. Fireworks in Boulder are supposed to start at dusk so sometime between 9-940p. Prob would be worthwhile to make sure you can see Denver as we usually have a nice long range view of those fireworks as well.

In the past they have closed the trails around dusk, so you may check and go up earlier to be safe, if they are.

A lot of people hike up the Red Rocks (south of Mt. Sanitas) and watch them from there, too.
