Anemone Point offers stunning views of downtown Boulder and Mount Sanitas, with a panoramic 360° lookout. The point is at an elevation of 6,310 feet. It's a popular spot, often busy with hikers, and is easy to spot during the climb as there is a short wooden fence at the viewpoint.

Is you hike this loop counter clockwise, you'll have better views of Boulder as you hike down the ridge back into town.
