 Boulder by goingsolo Chautauqua Park is a center of arts, culture and education rather than recreation. The Chautauqua is a unique creation developed in the 1800s by a group of Sunday School teachers seeking to promote adult education. The movement was popular in the late 1800s and early 1900. Today, there are only three permanently standing Chautauquas, on of which is located just outside the main part of Boulder. The park has several short hiking trails, but its main features are the auditorium where concerts are played, and performances are held, including the Colorado Music Festival, and the community house, which hosts lecture series and poetry readings. The Chautauqua dining hall is also located within the park. Chautauqua Park is located at 900 Baseline Road Leave a Comment

by shohman One morning I woke up and looked out my window to see a deer looking back at me. I quicly grabbed my camera and went outside. I saw there were three, a buck and two fawns. They looked at me then went back to foraging.
From less than 20 feet away, I watched these deer for 20 minutes before they moved on. I only wish my camera took a better shot, If you look real close, you can see the buck's eyes. Leave a Comment

by shohman It always shames me when I read of how the Native American's were forced off their land and killed off by the white man. Chief Niwot wanted to be peaceful, and was killed off just a few years after the white man arrived. There are several monuments in his honor here. Stop and read up on him. Leave a Comment

 Boulder by goingsolo Boulder Creek Path is a popular walking, jogging and bicycling path which runs through the city. As its name suggests, the path follows Boulder Creek. The main path, which is about 5 miles long, splits off into a series of biking and walking trails running through the city and along the river, creating a 20 mile network of trails. Leave a Comment

 Colorado by goingsolo Indian Peaks is so named because of the numerous jagged moutain summits in the area. This designated wilderness area is close to Boulder and is only about 25 miles west of the city. There are lots of hiking trails leading to alpine lakes and mountain summits. But the area is so heavily used that permits are required for overnight camping during the months of June through September. Leave a Comment

enjoy the local mountains and parks. Boulder is surrounded by something like 150 square miles of open space. If you like rock climbing, go south to Eldorado Springs. Some of the finest rock climbing and kayaking is there.
The Flatirons (the mountains just to the west of town). They are distinctive, beautiful, and they are dramatic. Leave a Comment

Well, MUST is a pretty heavy term. There's really nothing you MUST do but this is one of my favorites: In Spring, after the colors have come back to the trees and grass, go to Chautaqua Park and take a short (or long) hike on the trails above. The view of the Flatirons (our ubiquitous mountain backdrop) is most often photographed from here. The park itself is small but pleasant. This is a great place for a picnic or a hike up into the foothills to watch climbers try their skill on the Flatirons themselves. There are many trails that lead up into the foothills from here. Beware though, it does get pretty crowded during the afternoons. Go early and you'll enjoy the peace and freshness of a real Rocky Mountain morning.
Well my fondest is probably one of my firsts. Driving west into Boulder on U.S. 36 from the east. Driving west on 36 in the late spring you can see the white-capped mountains from some distance. As you get closer, you don't realize there is a city nestled right at the gateway to all that beauty. You know it's there but you can't see it. As you come up a long hill and gaze at the mountains rising from the plains, you eventually crest the hill. It drops before you and the entire Boulder Valley (not a true valley) stretches out before you. And you think 'I am going to be living there?!' From this vantage point, the outdoor recreation options that are quintessential Boulder finally become apparent. It is an outdoor lovers paradise!
