Flagstaff Parking Hours
Starting as early as Thursday, Dec. 2, parking at City of Boulder open space parking areas – including trailheads, paved parking lots and pull-offs – on Flagstaff Mountain will be prohibited from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
The Boulder Chamber will relight the Boulder Star on Thursday, Nov. 11. The City of Boulder reminds everyone to view the Boulder Star from afar as it remains closed. No designated trail currently leads to the Boulder Star, which sees large gatherings during the winter.
The star is located on steep terrain that has sustained significant plant and erosion damage because of increasing visitation over the years, leading to numerous wildlife habitat disturbances
