Boulder
Denver’s hip cousin, Boulder is a part university town, part liberal enclave, and part mountain base. Boulder is a perfect balance of urban and outdoor. Known for its stellar food scene, breweries, an always-exciting downtown, and more outdoor activities than you can count, the city is just 30 minutes northwest of Denver, where the Rocky Mountains meet the plains.
Be sure to check out the craggy rock formations at the Boulder Flatirons, and all of the fun things to do in Boulder such as seeing the Flatirons glow in the sunshine or dusted in snow like a powdered-sugar donut, shopping on hip and historic Pearl Street, grab your boots and hit a hiking trail, or try raved-about cuisine from one of the city's chef-led eateries.
Bike, ski, or swim by morning, visit a muscle-melting spa by afternoon, then enjoy a concert and cocktails by night. With the great outdoors always steps away - yet urban adventure right out your hotel door, too - you'll find an endless variety of things to do in Boulder, Colorado, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Boulder makes a great day trip from Denver without a car, as you can get there very simply via the Flatiron Flyer express buses that leave frequently from the Mile High City’s Union Station for Boulder, Colorado.
