Description

Queen Anne's head is the small though prominent pinnacle which juts out of the maze of rock on the south side of the Third Flatiron near the Royal Arch Trail. It can be recognized by its very overhanging west face and a colorful red and yellow wall on its north side.

Getting There

Queen Anne's Head can be approached both from above and below. To reach this pinnacle, take the Royal Arch Trail from the Bluebell Shelter above Chatauqua Park. 5-10 minutes up the trail you'll cross a streambed that runs during the spring before the trail radically steepens. Just before you hit this crossing cut up and right on a faint climber's trail to reach the very toe of the 3rd Flatiron. Scramble left (west) into 1911 gully, the fern-choked gully below the 3rd's long, slabby south face. Queen Anne's Head will be up and left (south) and can be accessed via a series of ramps.
