Most people who come to... by Teledude
Most people who come to Boulder never leave the Pearl st area. Take a drive up into the hills and get lost. Better yet, rent some mountain bikes and park the car and just ride-anywhere. Boulder is VERY bike friendly with many paths and trails and good bike maps. Drive south on 93 out of town and check out Eldorado Canyon State Park-small, but world renowned for climbling-hit the pool while you're there! Go to NCAR (south off Broadway) You can't miss it. It's the huge buildings on the hill just southwest of town. It was designed by the architect I.M. Pei in the early 60's I believe (don't quote me on the date!) Take a drive/hike up Flagstaff road. Eat at the Flagstaff House Restauraunt the only 4 (5?) star restauraunt in the region. I don't think it's all that great but the view of Boulder and the plains at night is well worth the amount they over charge for the meals.
