Going to Boulder Co. in a few weeks

Southpaw5 · #1 10-24-2011, 01:58 PM

So I'm flying out to see a buddy who teaches in Boulder in a few weeks, any suggestions of things I should do or see?

I plan on going on some Brewery tours and doing some hiking/snowshoeing(weather will decide what I do) but anything Else I shouldn't miss while I'm there?

Thanks

Go see a Buffalo's game if there's one happening while your there. Go tour pearl street a couple of times, its pretty cool.

Pearl street is cool. If you have time take a drive west towards Nederland, then head north to Estes Park and back to Boulder. Nice trip, plus there is a cool little bar about halfway to Estes Park. Have fun, Boulder is very cool.

As long as you don't go to Colorado Springs, everything else will be great.

If it were me, I'd climb the Third Flatiron!

If that were me, I'd take a picture of it from an angle very similar to this picture, and then drink beers looking at it until I pass out.

I expect to do a lot of that, pass out that is. I've been forewarned about the altitude and beer, so imma definitely get drunk like a freshman

isn't the official US atomic clock there? Might be interesting to see... at least, as interesting as a clock can be.

You call us flat landers too? I thought that was a Vermont thing.

i was a little kid when the parents thought camping in the rockies was a good idea for a vacation. all i remember from boulder is that there were a lot of hippies and a smell that i didn't recognize at the time.
