Cresting the hill on Highway 36 into Boulder and gazing down at the red rooftops of the University of Colorado, the dramatic sandstone slabs of the Flatirons, and the snow-capped peaks beyond, one can clearly see why this intriguing town has been dubbed “the city nestled between the mountains and reality.”
At 5,430 feet above sea level, acres of vast open space roll into Boulder’s quaint cityscape, tucked into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Whether you explore the pine-scented trails, taste the flavors of “America’s Foodiest Town,” tour 24 craft breweries, or stroll down historic Pearl Street, Boulder’s creative community, laid-back lifestyle, and scenic beauty offer something for everyone to soak in and enjoy.
