Day Trip to BOULDER
B Distance from metro Denver: 43 minutes Snapshot: It’s easy to see why this intriguing town is dubbed one of the top places to live, dine, shop, and recreate in the United States. A convenient cityscape nestled into the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, Boulder will leave you asking yourself, ‘Why don’t I live here?’
TOP 3 THINGS TO DO IN BOULDER: HIKE: The Chautauqua Trail leads up to the backside of Flatiron #1 with terrific views across the Boulder Valley, Indian Peaks and Rocky Mountain National Park. This out-and-back hike is 2.9 miles round trip and takes approximately 2 hours. Rated moderate to difficult. TASTE: Boasting one of Boulder’s best happy hours, The Mediterranean restaurant has been serving up the best bites of Italian, Spanish, French and Greek cuisine for more than 20 years. Happy hour runs daily from 3 pm–6:30 pm and features an extensive tapas menu and specially priced beverages. STROLL: The heart of downtown Boulder, Pearl Street, is a four-block pedestrian mall that stretches from 11th Street to 15th Street, and is home to a blend of locally-owned businesses and national chain stores and restaurants. During the summer months, Pearl Street Mall is the stage for a number of street performers, musicians, and much of Boulder’s nightlife. 303.893.3200 3

TOP 3 THINGS TO DO IN GOLDEN: HIKE: The Lubahn Trail, a 2.5 mile trail loop, in the gulley below and south of Golden’s famous Castle Rock on South Table Mountain. The trail climbs about 400 feet to the base of the cliffs, and makes for an excellent one-hour excursion. Access the trail via Belvedere Drive and 19th Street. Rated moderate to difficult. LUNCH: For the best sandwich in town, grab lunch at D’ Deli, a grab-and-go Golden staple offering Colorado-inspired deli fare including corned buffalo and smoked elk. Don’t be intimidated by the line out the door, it moves fast and is worth the wait. TOUR: Treat yourself to a tour of the world’s largest single-site brewery at the Coors Golden Brewery Tour. See and taste traditional brewing at the foot of the Rocky Mountains—an operation since 1873.
