The Flatirons are beautiful and sharp-cut rock formations near Boulder, Colorado. There are five large, numbered Flatirons ranging from north to south along the east slope of Green Mountain. 

These geologic formations are nearly 300 million years old. In the early 1900s they were called the “Chautauqua Slabs” or “The Crags.” When pioneer women said they thought the rocks looked like flat, metal irons used to iron their clothes, the name “Flatirons” stuck.
