License No. 1
Speakeasy with amazing cocktails. Try to catch some live music or comedy!
Jungle
We hear it's great for cocktails.
Cafe Aion
Delicious food... if you can navigate through the college crowd.
Southern Sun Pub & Brewery
Best place for burgers and beer after a day outdoors! (Common place to find us after skiing, backpacking or fishing!) CASH ONLY
Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery
Same owners as Southern Sun!
The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse
Historic and delightful. Indoor seating can get loud (but walk inside to see the art & craftmanship!)
Saddle Rock Trail
Hike to the top - we got engaged up here! (Hard, very strenuous uphill hike... drink lots of water.)
Chautauqua Park
Best place to go if you don't know which trail to go on... most of them start here! Walk through the Meadow for a very easy, VERY SCENIC hike. There's also LIVE music here most nights in the summer! Look for tickets online!
Teller Farms Trailhead Parking
Great place for spotting owls and other big birds at dusk! (Ask us for binocs if you want) - walk north over the road, and towards the north. Easy and flat walking.
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
Famous for it's natural rock amphitheater (look for tickets online!), and also has some great, scenic hiking! Most trails are relatively easy.
Golden Gate Canyon State Park
Our MOST favorite place for fall foliage (golden aspens!) in September/October - also some easy 1-2 mile hiking loops & even easy-to-access backcountry campsites!
Boulder Canyon Trail
One of our favorite places for flyfishing (ask us for rods to borrow! we have 2 - remember your license!).... and climbing! Ask Tash for reccs or borrowed gear.
Eldorado Canyon State Park
Tash's ABSOLUTE favorite place to climb in the WHOLE state. :) (it's all trad though) Also, a lovely SCENIC drive, walk, hike, or dip in the creek! (If you want a longer scenic hike... park at the Fowler Trailhead outside of the park, and hike INTO Eldorado Canyon SP!)
Flagstaff Mountain
Lots of trails up here, and lots of views - drive SLOW! Also one of the most expensive restaurants up there! :)
Boulder Farmers Market
A Saturday tradition! Great food - plan to get lunch and sit on the lawn! Could also wander in to BMOCA - Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art.
Boulder Public Library - Main Library
Great playground for kids, access to the Boulder Creek, lovely lawns.... and storytime inside for small kids!
