Boulder's Best Shopping Destinations: From Outdoor Gear to Home Decor
"80 acres of Chautauqua Park (pronounced shuh-TAW-kwuh) is located right next to Open Space Mountain Park trails, Chautauqua Dining Hall and Auditorium, and Chautauqua Ranger Cottage. Its history dates back to over 100 years ago when Boulder City started preserving wild lands. Now, it gives its visitors an opportunity for unstructured interaction with nature."
"Bring your picnic to one of Boulder’s favorite parks, Chautauqua Park, located at the base of the famous Flatiron Mountains. If you drive here, beware that parking can be limited. We prefer to take the quick and easy bus. Boulder’s public transportation system is excellent."
"This historic landmark park is the gateway to Boulder’s most magnificent slab of open space adjoining the iconic Flatirons; its wide, lush lawn attracts picnicking families, sunbathers, Frisbee folk and students..."
"One of the most iconic sights in the Boulder area, the Flatirons are a series of stunning rock walls that stand to the side of the equally spectacular Green Mountain. There are both large and smaller formations here and if you are feeling active (and brave!) then you can try rock climbing, which first began in the 1940s. If that doesn’t appeal, then there are more serene activities such as enjoying the majesty of the Flatirons by hiking several trails around the area."
"When you drive into Boulder on US-36 you can't help but be impressed by the Boulder Flatirons. The top is one of several perfect spots to see the whole city of Boulder as well as go for a nice, fairly easy hike. Of course, there are some challenging places to hike, but if you park at the NOAA building like we did, the hike into the Flatirons is pretty level."
"If you enjoy hiking, trekking, long scenic nature walks and rock climbing, Flatirons is the place for you to go. The main trails of Flatirons start at the southern end of the town at Chautauqua. A bright summer day or cool Spring day is the most appropriate days to visit this breathtaking site."
"The number 5 best ice cream in Boulder goes to good ole classic Ben and Jerry’s. Whether you’re wanting a classic like Phish Food or Half Baked or want to be a risk taker and try Salted Caramel Brown-ie Ale (pictured above), Ben and Jerry’s are your guys. They never disappoint."
"If you're craving something sweet for lunch, Ben & Jerry's has sundaes and ice cream sandwiches for under $10. Add a brownie or banana to your sundae and you have a complete meal!"
"Sunrise Amphitheater is by far my favorite outdoor wedding ceremony site in Boulder!. It’s accessible from May through October (until it snows), and you can drive right up there. The natural setting and views over Boulder are the perfect way to showcase this town we love to your guests."
"Discovery Park offers your little ones the chance to climb on the big dinosaur and brass tortoise or head over to the digging pit and try to find the bones hidden there!. With a climbing wall and glass maze, this park offers an adventure for all."
"Lindsay’s Boulder Deli is one of the more popular lunch spots in the downtown district due to the excellent and quick service, delicious food, and affordable prices!. All salads, soups, vegetarian sandwiches, and most specialty sandwiches are under $10."
"Cake pops are adorable, sweet, fun, and you can eat so many in one sitting. Tee and Cakes have a variety of cake pop flavors and designs that you can get customized for any event. From classic flavors like chocolate and vanilla to more decadent flavors like chocolate maple bacon, chocolate peanut butter pretzel stout, and even lemon lavender!"
"Established in 1979, Boulder Beer is the city’s original craft brewery and one of the first in the country. Boulder Beer recently inaugurated its mega expansion to a new facility in the industrial section of North Boulder, upping their capacity for production and visitors. Their year-round brews include a balanced spectrum from blonde ale to a chocolate porter, with seasonal specialties that keep locals coming back."
"The oldest brewery in Boulder (in all of Colorado even), Boulder Beer Company celebrated its 40th birthday recently with a big party and tapping of a new birthday brew. Boulder Beer has lasted all this venerable time because its beer is just that dang delicious, and has been for all these decades now. If you want a taste of Boulder’s beer history, you’d do worse than to begin at Boulder Beer."
