Lost Gulch Boulder

Lost Gulch Overlook is up Flagstaff road, about 18 minutes from Chautauqua park in Boulder. It has incredible views of the mountains and the best sun sets. Great for a second location with stunning dramatic backdrops. It does tend to get busy at Lost Gulch during sun set in weekends in the summer and fall, so I try to finish up pictures an hour before the sun sets. Choosing this location requires minor climbing efforts. Parking is right next to where we shoot.

If your shoot is booked at Lost Gulch, you'll need $5 cash for parking your car there.

For Deluxe sessions you can combine locations if you wish. South Mesa is diverse enough to not have to choose a second location though. There are no limitations on clothes changes. I will bring a pop up changing tent for your convenience.

See below how to get there and some sample pictures.
