Realization Point

Well, I wasn't keen about paying for parking with a system that requires Internet, yet there wasn't cell service when I was there. Boulder County residents are exempt from the fee. The location is incredible as a starting point for hiking. There are also incredible views of the plains and Boulder from the surrounding area. I went there to climb Green Mountain, which I succeeded at. The views to the east and west are phenomenal from the summit. I got some great photos of the Continental Divide peaks and Longs Peak.

Realized that Colorado is amazing and that hiking in fancy boots with a heel isn’t that hard 😁🤣

Easy and comfortable trail with gorgeous mountain views!

Best hike I’ve gone on so far. We are from Florida and wanted a hike that would be challenging but rewarding. Give me the peaks! Hiking up Flagstaff Trail was perfect. We parked in one of the many parking areas and only had to pay $5 for the day. Iconic trail, boulders, and flowers. Great view. Well marked trails.

Nice place to stop by! There’s plenty of parking, picnic tables, and easy access to the trails. Great for a quick outdoor escape.

Had a great time hiking here! Get there early because there is very limited parking. Beautiful views and scenery. Walking out is super easy and downhill, then the walk back is the uphill. There is a lookout point with steep steps that had me fighting for my life. Just a great time!

As a wedding adventure photographer, capturing a wedding at Green Mountain Falls Lodge, located near Boulder, CO, was an extraordinary experience. This hidden gem, nestled in the heart of the Rockies, offers a perfect blend of rustic elegance and serene natural beauty, making it ideal for couples seeking both adventure and charm on their special day. The lodge’s historic architecture, with its cozy and intimate atmosphere, provided a picturesque backdrop for both traditional and candid shots. The mountain views, coupled with the lodge’s warm wooden interiors, created a sophisticated yet relaxed setting that added to the magic of the occasion. Whether it was the couple’s first look or candid moments during the reception, every part of the day felt natural and timeless in such a beautiful location. One of the standout moments was capturing the couple around the tranquil lake near the lodge. The reflection of the surrounding mountains and trees on the water’s surface, especially at sunset, offered some truly breathtaking and romantic shots. The nearby hiking trails and waterfalls also added a touch of adventure to the day, giving the couple the opportunity to steal away for private, scenic moments that felt deeply personal and awe-inspiring. For couples who love nature but also want a touch of mountain-town charm, Green Mountain Falls Lodge is an unbeatable location near Boulder. The venue’s versatility allowed me to create a beautiful range of photos, from classic and posed to candid and adventurous, capturing the full essence of the couple’s love story against Colorado’s stunning backdrop.

Gorgeous view! Some sections on the Tenderfoot trail had snow, in March, and that made it a little difficult for an inexperienced hiker to manage, especially in sloping sections. Worth whatever time you can spend, and hiwever far out you can go!
