Unique views of the flat irons in the foothills. Many canyons to drive. Water experiences along the creek paths. Biking trails and paths through out the extensive maze of parks, restaurants, breweries, yoga studios, waterfalls, rocks, grasslands and the university. There's nothing quite like Boulder.
