Things To Do
Boulder Fall Fest
The Boulder Fall Fest will be going on all weekend! Located on Pearl Street, a pedestrian mall in the heart of downtown Boulder. Explore some great local art stands and exhibits, live music, beer gardens, and more! More details on the festival available on their website below. Pearl Street is a 5-minute drive from the Hilton, with public transit options (the BOLT, 205, or HOP lines).
Travel Destinations
If you'd like to extend your stay, we highly recommend taking a visit to Rocky Mountain National Park, driving up Mount Blue Sky (formerly Mount Evans), exploring the high desert of the San Luis Valley, and perhaps even making a few turns depending on when the first snow falls in the mountains.
Hikes
Colorado is filled with world-class hiking! Here are some hikes and trailheads for all ability levels: Boulder Falls (easy, .1 miles) - A mostly level paved path takes you take a gorgeous waterfall! Rattlesnake Gulch (moderate, 3.6 miles) - One of the most historic areas in rock climbing, Eldorado Canyon also has excellent trails and views for non-climbers! Rattlesnake Gulch will reward you with great views of historic buildings and Eldo's colorful walls, along with an opportunity to disappear into nature for a couple hours. Chatauqua Trailhead - Gateway to Boulder's beautiful flatirons. Check out the First and Second Flatiron Loop (challenging, 2.7 miles) or the Royal Arch Trail (moderate-challenging, 3.4 miles) for views of Boulder's most stunning natural space in an ideal setting. Bring snacks and water, especially if you are coming from out of town - the length does not define the challenge of these outings!
