8 days in Boulder Itinerary

Located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder is a busy college town known for its progressive values and natural resource conservation.

Get some cultural insight at Loveland Museum/Gallery and Longmont Museum & Cultural Center. Escape the urban bustle at Eldorado Canyon State Park and Mount Sanitas Trail. Get out of town with these interesting Boulder side-trips: Longmont (Dougherty Museum, Oskar Blues Brewery Taproom, &more), Fort Collins (Funkwerks, The Farm at Lee Martinez Park, &more) and Loveland (Northern Colorado Fishing Outfitters & Devil's Backbone Open Space). There's much more to do: examine the collection at Shelby American Collection, explore the striking landscape at Settler's Park, take a spin around town with Bike Tours, and grab your bike and head to Valmont Bike Park.
