Boulder, Colorado
At 5,430 feet above sea level, acres of vast open space roll into Boulder’s quaint cityscape tucked into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
The city of Boulder is 27.8 square miles.
with a population of
103,673 residents, including 29,000 students at the University of Colorado (seen here-)
Weather in Boulder is
four distinct seasons and over 300 sunny days a year... (More than San Diego or Miami!) BUT Averaging 83.3 inches of snowfall a year.
The view from up on the mountain gave a great view of the college town and all its fun. Boulder was a very green, yuppie town and I loved it.
Many shops and boutiques line the quaint streets- not to mention many day spas and fancy restaurants and hotels. Many college bar hangouts were there too, providing an electricity to the city that was indescribable.
All the luxuries of a big city with such small town flavor!
The Flatirons are a famous rock formation well known to rock climbers. While I did not climb them, they sure do make great
I find the small towns much more intriguing than the big cities.
Boulder was an unplanned little excursion that was one of the highlights of out Colorado tour.
I hope to get back and spend more time exploring one of my new favorite spots!
