Things To Do
Chautauqua Park
This is a great area for hiking trails in Boulder. Try the 1st and 2nd Flatiron hike if you're looking for a workout!
Mount Sanitas or Dakota Ridge Trailhead
Sanitas is a quintessential Boulder hike with beautiful views at the top. Be prepared for a stairmaster workout! For an easier option in the same area, do Dakota Ridge instead.
West End Tavern
Where the magic happened for us! We went here for Happy Hour on our first date. A casual spot for food and drinks.
Avanti Food and Beverage Boulder
This is a food hall with a variety of food options to please a crowd (kids and adults). Take the elevator to the rooftop to find a casual spot for food and drinks with a view.
Pearl Street Mall
This is the downtown area of Boulder with lots of shops and restaurants to explore.
Moxie Bread Co. - Lyons
Our favorite coffee shop in Lyons where you can find delicious pastries, bread, paninis and coffee drinks. There is a free bluegrass jam on Sundays at 11am if you'd like to hear some local music.
LaVern M. Johnson Park
A beautiful park in Lyons located on the St. Vrain River. Bring a blanket, picnic lunch and enjoy the views!
Spirit Hound Distillers
A local bar and distillery in Lyons with indoor and outdoor seating
Rocky Mountain National Park
Rocky Mountain National Park is about 25 miles NW of Lyons. Beautiful hiking and driving options throughout the park. And it's mating season for the elk, so you're guaranteed to see elk walking about. Just make sure you prepare for the weather at higher altitude. Call the Ranger Station or look online before going.
