It&#8217;s the nearest place to downtown that offers a clean view west to the Indian Peaks, and as usual for a decent day there was a small crowd there to see the sunset. Alas, sunset didn&#8217;t happen. Returning to town, though, I found a pull-off I&#8217;d overlooked before with a great view over Boulder. On the right day, this might be a good location for sunrise too.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_664\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/philarmitage.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/boulder_twilight_overlook.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-664\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-664\" src=\"https:\/\/philarmitage.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/boulder_twilight_overlook-1024x410.jpg\" alt=\"Boulder from Flagstaff Mountain, twilight\" width=\"640\" height=\"256\" class=\"size-large wp-image-664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philarmitage.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/boulder_twilight_overlook-1024x410.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/philarmitage.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/boulder_twilight_overlook-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/philarmitage.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/boulder_twilight_overlook-768x307.jpg 768w, https:\/\/philarmitage.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/boulder_twilight_overlook-500x200.jpg 500w, https:\/\/philarmitage.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/boulder_twilight_overlook.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-664\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Boulder from Flagstaff Mountain, twilight<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heading to the office this afternoon I spied some promising-looking clouds to the west, and with thoughts of a backlit orange sunset behind the high peaks made a detour up Flagstaff Mountain to the Lost Gulch Overlook.
