Things To Do
Take a Hike
There are many places to immerse yourself in nature in Boulder but the Flatirons are the iconic photo of Boulder. Sanita's is a great option. Shelby loves Shanahan Ridge. Scott has hiked the Flatirons hundreds of times. If elevation is not your friend, the Boulder Creek Path is delightful.
Grab a beer at the many micro breweries around town
Boulder has always been a hub for micro breweries and there are so many options that you just need to taste them for yourselves. Some of our favorites include: Avery Brewing, Sanitas, Vision Quest, Mountain Sun, Wild Provisions, 4 Noses.
Stroll Pearl Street
