Things to Do
Chataqua Park
Lily's #1 recommendation if you have spare time in Boulder. Incredible views, hiking, and high end dining. For hiking, if you are looking for something hard and steep with an incredible view, try the Royal Arch orthe First and Second Flatirons trail. An easier, but not easy, option is the Bluebell/Enchanted Mesa trail. Please be advised that you need water when hiking in Colorado, and if you are coming from sea level, you will fatigue more quickly. Plan accordingly!
Pearl Street Mall
Shopping, street performances, and loads of great food. For breakfast, we recommend Snooze or Lucille's. For lunch, Illegal Pete's or Pizza Locale. For dinner, try Pasta Jays or Mountain Sun. Stop in at the Dushanbee Tea House for any meal or to see a reconstructed tea house originally built in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.
Sanitas Valley Trail
The outdoor stairclimber machine. According to Hope: The best view in Boulder!
University Hill
Lot's of shopping and restaurants with easy access to CU Boulder's campus.
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
A little over a half hour from Boulder. Open air ampitheatre surrounded by trails.
Rocky Mountain National Park
An hour drive from Boulder. For anyone looking for a day trip!
