Things To Do
Rocky Mountain National Park
Visit RMNP for spectacular views and wildlife. Some of our favourite hikes are to Sky Pond, Dream Lake, Emerald Lake, and Lake Haiyaha. Alternatively, drive along Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous paved road in North America, for amazing vistas of the Rockies and alpine tundra.
Pearl Street Mall
Pearl Street Mall is a 4-block pedestrian mall in the heart of Boulder. Ben and Erin go on almost-daily walks down Pearl Street. Enjoy its fabulous shopping, dining, street performers, and people watching! We recommend checking out Boxcar Coffee, Trident Booksellers & Cafe, the Apocalypse thrift store, Leaf Vegetarian, and Sherpa's Adventure.
Chautauqua Park
Explore the Chautauqua network of trails in Boulder. Enjoy views of the flatirons, Chautauqua's rich history, and a cup of the Chautauqua Dining Hall's hot buttered rum.
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
Keep an eye out for shows playing (or yoga classes being taught) at the world famous Red Rocks Amphitheater, an iconic open-air amphitheater southwest of Denver.
Boulder Farmers Market
We love to visit the Boulder Farmers Market almost every Saturday! It runs from 8am-2pm. Enjoy local goods, fresh foods, and live music - we love to bring a picnic blanket and sit in the park to enjoy a pastry after walking through the stalls.
Denver Art Museum
Coming highly recommended by the groom's mother, the Denver Art Museum is one of the largest art museums between Chicago and the west coast. While in Denver, check out the 16th St Mall, Larimer Square, and a Rockies or Broncos game.
The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse
Traditional Persian Teahouse featuring an eclectic, international menu. The Teahouse is a gift from Boulder's sister city, Dushanbe, Tajikistan. Crafted by over 40 Tajik artists, it is the most significant and largest piece of Central Asian art and the only one of its kind in the Western Hemisphere. We are frequently asked to bring bottles of their delicious chai with us on our trips to Canada!
Coors Brewery Tour
See and taste traditional brewing at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in the largest single-site brewery in the world! Reservations go on sale 25 days in advance and are in high demand.
Denver Mineral, Fossil, Gem & Jewelry Show
