Beautiful views but trails were much more strenuous than some of the others we went on during our trip. That being said, it is less crowded than other mountains we hiked.

Ended up having to hike down with the flashlight on our phones and we weren't the most experienced hikers.

Enjoyed running up the trail today! It was a beautiful day in the 40s-50s, and there were loads of runners, college students and families out hiking the trails today. I'll be frequently training for my trail marathons up there this summer!

I don't see how you don't give these amazing Flat Irons 5 Stars. This entire area is incredible and I highly recommend climbing the Flat Irons. You can hike to the top or climb them!
