There are endless things to do in the Boulder area. Here are recommendations for two of Cat and Evan's favorite things: hiking and eating!
Mount Sanitas Trail
Mount Sanitas Trail, Boulder, CO
Cat was a Sanitas gal during her five years as a Boulder resident. The hike to the top is steep but not too long, and a great view of Boulder is the reward!
Chautauqua
Boulder, CO
Evan's favorite hike when he lived in Boulder is a classic! Views of the iconic Flatirons from a variety of trails are the backdrop against the historic Chautauqua Dining Hall and cabins.
Rocky Mountain National Park
CO(970) 586-1206
RMNP is just a short 45 minutes from Boulder! You will drive right through Lyons if you chose to head up. Majestic views and countless trails can keep you busy and active! Emerald Lake is one of our go-to's.
Pearl Street Mall
1942 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80302, (303) 449-3774
The brick mall in downtown Boulder has lots of shops, restaurants, and street performers! A great place for a stroll at any time of day. Evan used to play here for whiskey money with his college band, Rocky Mountain Toast!
Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery
1535 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302, (303) 546-0886
We went here for our first official date. Brew pub with great burgers, beer, and heady decor!
Backcountry Pizza & Tap House
2319 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder, CO 80302, (303) 449-4285

The Sink
1165 13th Street, Boulder, CO 80302, (303) 444-7465
The classic Boulder restaurant on The Hill! Burgers, fries, and encouraged graffiti, you can't go wrong!
Khow Thai Cafe

We love Thai food... this is the absolute best in Boulder!! Casual Thai with counter service.
The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse
1770 13th Street, Boulder, CO 80302, (303) 442-4993
Cat also worked here in college! The gorgeous building was imported piece by piece from Tajikistan and rebuilt in Downtown Boulder. Stop in for an afternoon tea or coffee, the food is great too!
Avery Brewing Company
4910 Nautilus Court North, Boulder, CO 80301, (303) 440-4324
Our favorite Boulder brewery! This location opened in 2015, they're making great brews and tasty eats! Slightly farther out of town in Boulder, but worth the trek to see this state-of-the-art brewery!
The Buff
2600 Canyon Boulevard, Boulder, CO 80302, (303) 442-9150
Brunch/lunch with 99 cent Bloody's and Mimosas... 'nuff said.
