Boulder

Boulder Travel Guide

The enviable lifestyle of north central Colorado is set up by the region's geography and climate. Where else does a string of sophisticated yet laid-back cities parallel a mountain chain that offers such a plethora of outdoor activities? Boulder is the region in a nutshell. Every conceivable trend in food, alternative health care, education, and personal style has come through town, and yet, with its commitment to preserving open space and wilderness, the city abuts so many nonurbanized zones that you can be on a trail to a mountain peak in no time.
