The flattop was a popular haircut of the 1950s and 60s. Famous quarterback, Johnny Unitas was always a flattop man. Howie Long, of Oakland Raider fame, still maintains his flattop cut. And one of the most striking flattop looks was introduced by actress Grace Jones.
Pictured here is another flattop, Hallett Peak, just south of Flattop Mountain. This particular look dates back as much as 70 million years as the Colorado Mountains began their upward thrust. The Rocky Mountain National Park peaks, comprised mostly of granite, endured major glaciations. Today, steep semicircular scars (cirques) are evident along Bear Lake Road. Hallett Peak (elevation 12,713 feet), can be reached by way of the popular Flattop Mountain trail, and adds more dramatic scenery along the Bear Lake Trail.
