"William Cody is a fascinating historical character that’s most commonly known as Buffalo Bill. Cody was born in the mid-1800s when Colorado was wild, dangerous, and full of herds of wild buffalo; he made a name for himself by hunting them. Buffalo Bill also founded his own theater production called The Wild West, which thrilled visitors with acts of horsemanship and harrowing tales of life in the wilds of Colorado."
"Buffalo Bill’s Gravesite and Museum features exhibits exploring Buffalo Bill’s life and times, including Wild West show outfits and posters, Indian artifacts, and antique firearms. Temporary exhibits, which change every year, explore a variety of Western themes. Children and adults alike can try on cowboy outfits and get a picture while seated on “Stumpy,” the Museum’s fiberglass horse."
"Naropa was founded by Tibetan Buddhist master Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, who escaped Tibet and climbed over the Himalayas into India as a young man. In 1970, at just 30, he began presenting teachings in the US and..."
"Red Rocks Amphitheatre is set between 400ft-high red sandstone rocks 15 miles southwest of Denver. Acoustics are so good many artists record live albums here. The 9000-seat theater offers stunning views and draws big-name bands all summer. To see your favorite singer go to work on the stage is to witness a performance in one of the most exceptional music venues in the world. For many, it’s reason enough for a trip to Colorado."

"New as of 2017, it calls itself a “neo bistro”—no doubt because the playfully chic, industrial retro-mod concept isn’t cozy and comforting like a traditional bistro, but rather, has a certain mystique and creative zing to the menu. Why go: It’s like Los Angeles and New York came together and had a lovechild in Boulder (read: uber-hip meets farm-fresh). Inventive takes on traditional meat, seafood, and veggies are alluring."
"• If it’s a Saturday from April to November, then saunter the Boulder Farmers’ Market to sample some locally made goodies, ogle the flower and fruit displays, hear some live music and grab a plate of steaming dumplings or tamales from the outdoor “food court.” Nab a seat under the towering cottonwood trees at adjacent Central Park for an impromptu picnic. • Not visiting on a Saturday?. Then definitely head to the Celestial Seasonings tea factory, where free tours happen every hour. You’ll get to walk the production floor, step inside the invigorating mint room and sample as many teas as you like."
"Walk, bike or even tube down the creek from the west side of town until you get to Central Park. Sometimes you’ll find fun, free entertainment in the bandshell at the park. In the winter, this park is elaborately decorated with holiday lights. In the summer, on Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings, Boulder’s amazing farmers market pops up around here, filled with incredible local vendors and farm stands (with free samples), live music and great people-watching."

"Spend your morning just outside of Boulder at Eldorado Canyon State Park, popular with the locals for hiking. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, go for the strenuous Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, which climbs to the elevation of the Empire State Building and gives you amazing views over the continental divide."
