The Flatirons Mountain Range

Driving into Boulder 5 days a week takes me forever. Ashley and I live in South Denver, and it's about 40 miles door-to-door to my job at the Boulder Police Department. One thing that gets me through the drive is the beautiful Flatirons Mountain Range abutted against the city of Boulder. On the drive up U.S. 36, there is one final hill you go up and then as you reach the top, a scenic view of the city of Boulder emerges with the mountains as a backdrop.




Look slightly to the north, and you can see the layout of the city and it's several tall buildings as well.




Specifically, the Flatirons Mountain Range are a popular symbol of the city of Boulder. The logo for the Boulder PD is the mountain range. This photo was shot a few days after a snowstorm. I can't believe it's almost March and it's still snowing! (Supposedly people around here say that March is the snowiest month of the year.) Two weeks ago it took me 2 hours to get home from work because everyone was driving 5mph in the bad road conditions. Ashley and I can't wait to move closer to our jobs in September.
