Snow had fallen throughout the previous day (11/11/18), leaving a bit more than a foot in my back yard. Anticipating good light, I walked to Chautauqua Park to see the clouds lifting off the flatirons, Boulder's distinctive formation of uplifted sandstone.
Boulder's early settlers referred to these 5 uplifted slabs as flatirons because they were similar to the triangular slabs of metal that they used to iron their clothes.
