The Flatiron formation east facing orientation allows them to receive the earliest of light as the sun rises over the high plains. Just a short drive from downtown Boulder, one can expect the best light at sunrise. Chautauqua Park is a beautiful spot and the meadow allows one to photograph with short hiking distances and lots of interesting props to make strong near/far compositions.Ĭhautauqua Park is a great morning location all year. This is the classic view of the Flatirons that you will see hanging in shops and galleries along Pearl Street. Tip 1: The Flatirons from Chautauqua Park and meadow is by far the most popular location to photograph in Boulder. Because of this, I thought it would be a good idea to share a couple of suggestions for photographing the Boulder area for a morning or two. With only a morning or two to photograph, a photographer can be quite productive. I realize Boulder may not be a primary photo destination for photographers visiting Colorado, but it’s often a stop over on the way to Rocky Mountain National Park. I had two great mornings with really interesting skies and clouds. Staying close to Boulder worked out pretty well for me. I still managed to get out a few mornings around Boulder and capture some images I’m pleased with.

Even though Chautauqua Park in Boulder is a photographers favorite location, there are many other great locations around Boulder to photograph the Flatirons and Boulder's other natural wonders. The meadows provide many great 'props' such as wildflowers, tree's and Yucca plants to provide sweeping near to far views. The classic view of the Boulder Flatirons is from Chautaqua Park and the Meadows.
