Living in Boulder
300 Days of Sun, 365 Days of Everything Else
Hiking. Biking. Running. Climbing. Kayaking.Skiing. Snowshoeing. And just about any other kind of adventure is right here waiting for you in Boulder. Spend your lunch along the Boulder creek path, go for a morning hike up Mt. Sanitas, or head up one of Colorado’s 52 Fourteeners on the weekend. And if you need a little rest in between your recreation, head down to Pearl Street Mall for a little shopping or dinner in one of the many restaurants within walking distance. After, you could take in a concert (and view of the Flatirons) at Chautauqua or have dessert and catch a movie at Twenty Ninth Street Retail District. It’s all a day in the life of Boulder.
A Great Fit for Families
Acres of Open Space, miles of bike paths, numerous parks and several recreation centers, make Boulder a very family-friendly place. Kids can enjoy growing up in the great outdoors with plenty of places to play. Weekends can mean family ski trips to the mountains or a summertime camping excursion.
And Boulder is about more than fun. Boulder County schools offer a world-class education. In the district’s 29 elementary schools, 21 secondary schools and four K-8 schools, Boulder County recognizes education is not a one-size-fits-all package. In addition to a variety of focus and charter schools, the district’s neighborhood schools, alternative schools and cutting-edge school programs give parents and students a customized approach to meeting their education needs.
