Slide 8 -- The Flatiron mountains in Boulder, a very popular hiking area . I have hiked the Green Mounain peak (8200 ft) which is in the back of these mountains. Boulder is located at 5400 feet altitude, a good preparation for the South Pole which is at about 9300 feet altitude! Many runners and climbers from around the world come to Colorado to train.
