Things To Do
Chautauqua Park
Hike in Boulder's iconic flatirons. Picturesque routes for all ability levels. We took our engagement photos here!
Mt Sanitas Trails
Hike to the top of a mountain in Boulder for awesome views! Hike either the Sanitas Valley Trail or Mt Sanitas Trail; if running, we recommend starting from Centennial Trail Head and taking the Sunshine Canyon Trail to Lions Lair (see Trail Run Project for more information).
Doudy Draw Trailhead
Another great trail running or mountain biking option in south Boulder.
Trident Cafe
One of Haley's favorites. A mainstay coffee shop / bookstore in downtown Boulder.
Avanti F&B
Take the elevator up to the roof and enjoy the best view of the flatirons from downtown Boulder with a meal or drink.
Rocky Mountain National Park
If staying for a weekday, this is only an hour drive from Boulder. Don't forget your park pass and your timed entry pass if going between 9am-3pm. Note: RMNP is crowded on the weekends, especially in the summer, and we do not recommend going on Friday or Saturday.
Indian Peaks Wilderness
A slightly less crowded alternative to Rocky Mountain National Park. Note: if going to Brainerd Lakes Recreational area, you will need to get a permit in early August. See View for more info on timed entry permits.
