Boulder Creek Path

Boulder Creek Path, (http://totalboulder.com/r...). This miles-long path sits on the banks of the Boulder Creek, cutting right through the middle of town. Along this path you will find beautiful walking, biking, and other forms of recreation. In the downtown area, pick up the path at Civic Park, located on Broadway, between Canyon and Arapaho Avenues. In the summer, many parts of the creek become popular swimming holes. You can buy and fill inner tubes at local gas stations, should you want to have a down-the-creek journey. It follows Boulder Creek, making this path anything but boring.

Located 21 miles west of Boulder. This easy to get to mountain via car or RTD is a local ski resort if travelers do not want to make the 2 hours trip to the main Colorado mountains.

Eldorado Canyon State Park is a local state park to see the wilderness and beauty of this Colorado area.

Good walking/biking trail, but the unique feature of this trail is that there are prairie dogs everywhere!

Flagstaff Mountain

Flagstaff Mountain is a must-do. Follow Baseline Road West up the mountain, it is a windy, long road but the view is breathtaking. From up top, there is a beautiful view looking down on Boulder. The view from the other side is the Rocky Mountains. There are picnic areas, an ampitheatre, bike and walking trails, Summit Nature Center, the Flagstaff House and views that you can not get anywhere else. A great place to relax or enjoy with friends.

A great music venue located on the hill. Has been nominated for best venue in the US.

Chautauqua Park

Chautauqua Park, at Baseline Ave and 8th Street, (http://chautauqua.com/). Located at the base of the Flatiron's rock formations. For a minor hike, take the trail to the 3rd Flatiron. This hike will show you sweeping vistas of town and an up-close and personal look at the Flatiron's rock formations. During the summer months, the Boulder Symphony performs at Chautauqua, with the mountains as a stunning backdrop.

Happy Thursday Cruising
