Parks & Nature

These trails can be busy on the weekends, but if you keep heading uphill you will eventually get to spots where not many people are! Royal Arch is a favorite trail if you have 4 hours or so. You will see a lot of dogs on Boulder trails, and especially in Chautauqua. The Mesa Trail is wide and flat and goes south from Chautauqua for a number of miles. Take plenty of water.

Short and medium length trails, including one for kids, are at the top of a short but nice drive up the mountain. An amphitheater frequently hosts weddings. Not as busy as Chautaqua. Be careful of bikers as you drive up and down.

Arts & Culture

World-class music, dance, and theater, and top performances from the CU College of Music. Macky Auditorium is one of the most beautiful buildings in Boulder...perhaps in Colorado.

Essentials

We try to get everything at thrift stores that we can. This one is huge, the staff are fun, and the proceeds go to supporting people with developmental disabilities. You can get clothes, household items, shoes, gifts.

This is our closest grocery store, an all-organic grocery store. Prices are a bit higher than the big stores. Produce is very high quality.
