Particularly Special Place
Description
Perched right over town, this set of rocks is a great destination to play on some rocks and watch the sun set behind Boulder.
With care, you can summit all of them - up to 50' with sheer faces on the west side.
Short Hike: Short and steep hike from several downtown trailheads.
Family Friendly: Kids love climbing rocks - but careful - these are tall and can be slippery!

Great stop for family or pets as the Rocks are just a short walk from the trailhead.
