Billed as the happiest place in the US, Boulder is home to year-round outdoor activities, talented chefs, breweries, and vibrant downtown. Located just a short distance from Denver, Boulder is anchored at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Downtown’s pedestrian-only Pearl Street Mall includes art galleries, boutiques, and is touted as one of the top ten foodie streets in America. The University of Colorado Boulder campus is home to the Fiske Planetarium and the Museum of Natural History, with zoology and anthropology exhibits, in a picturesque landscape. Getting back to nature here is easy with 300 miles of trails and 45,000 acres of open space. To the west, the trail-lined Flatirons are craggy red rock formations looming above the city. At 5,430 feet above sea level, a visit to this creative and dynamic destination offers a glimpse into a trendy and culturally enriched lifestyle.
