Boulder’s iconic pedestrian street, lined with local shops, restaurants, cafés, and plenty of places to grab a drink and people-watch. It’s a great place to wander and get a feel for downtown Boulder. We love to get food at the Bohemian Biergarten, gelato at Gelato Boy, cocktails on the Avanti rooftop, and coffee at Ozo.

Mount Sanitas Hike
Sunshine Canyon Drive, Boulder, CO 80304
A classic Boulder hike a 5-minute drive from downtown. The popular route is a 3.3-mile loop with a steep and rocky 1,300 feet of elevation gain. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of Boulder, the Flatirons, the Front Range, and the plains stretching toward Denver. It’s a short but challenging hike, so bring water and good shoes!

A relaxing spot near downtown where you can walk along Boulder Creek Path, dip your toes in the water, or simply find a shady place to hang out on the lawn.
Chautauqua Park
Chautauqua is a great spot for an easy hike, a picnic, or some of the best photo opportunities in Boulder. The trails range from gentle walks through the meadow to more challenging hikes, so there’s something for everyone. Even if you don’t want to hike, the open lawn offers an incredible up-close view of the Flatirons and makes for a great place to take photos.
