Our wedding weekend will take place across Boulder and Lyons, two towns at the base of the Rockies Mountains we call home! Rachel spent four years at CU (sko Buffs!) and has been showing Ross...a Minnesota Gopher...the ropes for the last 6 years. Here are a few of our favorite things to do:
Chautauqua Park and Dining Hall
9th Street, Boulder, CO 80302
Chautauqua sits at the base of the iconic Flatirons! Take a hike on one of the many trails (ranging from easy to challenging) or grab a bite at Chautauqua Dining Hall which serves delicious farm-to-table dishes with unbeatable views.
Roayal Arch Hike
900 Baseline Rd & 9th St, Boulder, CO 80302
3.3 mile loop to an awesome view. This hike follows a well maintained, steep, and stair like trail. Bring lots of water and only hike in the morning to avoid the heat!
University of Colorado Boulder
Boulder, CO 80309
Even if you didn’t go here, it’s worth a walk. Gorgeous red rooftops and mountain views, it's the prettiest campus in the country (even Ross agrees).
The Sink
1165 13th Street, Boulder, CO 80302
Located on University Hill, the Sink is many thing to many people. Mostly known for their burgers, flip night, and writings on the wall.
Pearl Street Mall
1303 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302
Pearl street mall is filled with great restaurants, bars, and shopping!
Boulder Farmers Market
13th Street, Boulder, CO 80302
Walk around the farmers market on Saturday from 8 am – 2 pm.
Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery
1535 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302
A favorite cash only spot for a burger and beer.
Avanti F & B
1401 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302
Food hall with rooftop views!
Rosetta Hall
1109 Walnut Street, Boulder, CO 80302
Another great food hall with a rooftop, bar, and live music.

CO
About an hour from Boulder, Rocky Mountain National Park offers an incredible range of experiences in the southern Rocky Mountains year-round from wildlife viewing and scenic drives to hiking, fishing and more!
