THE FLATIRON

...Or as we say, "The Flairtron" (an early error of pronunciation that stuck). To reach the Flatiron we take the Siphon Draw trail which is 1.8 miles from the trailhead to the top of the Flatiron. We start at an elevation of about 2160 ft and  end at 4,861 ft that's a 2,701 ft elevation gain in less then 2 miles. Challenging and fun!

We are heading way up there

Hiking up the trail (I'm wearing a new hat Charly made me!)

Rest time

Ahhh shade

Long way up here

Long way left to go

At the top looking down at the trail head

Holy crap! We have to go all the way back down there?!

Climbing down

Beautiful Day
