Description
Like its neighbor, Flatirons Vista South, this trail is flat and gentle trail with some loose rocks through fairly open forest. You'll catch some nice views through the trees in places as you make your way back to the start of Flatirons Vista North and the connectors that can take you across Rte. 93.
