- Chris L10 contributionsDon't be a whimp, walk the flatiron loop. It's only uphill 1/2 way so go for it! I had both my hips replaced in the last 2 years and I made it through, was well worth the effort!Written August 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Coastal296670560293 contributionsWhat a fun place to spend the day in Boulder. Added bonus was the fantastic Farmers market going on on a Saturday. Lots of interesting shops a food places.Written September 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- k3ewGaithersburg, MD195 contributionsVery Photogenic scenery with almost a vertical uplifting if surface rock through plate movement. The area has many hiking trails, but remember to drink enough water - if you are thirsty, it's too late. Trails are mildly uphill and well worn. Bring sticks if you have them.
We additionally toured the Chautauqua homes which are historic bungalows. Some have been restored and are lived in 100%. Don't miss the activities in July at the Chautauqua Barn including musical festival all month.Written August 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Voyager2384974 contributionsThis hidden away, close to everything treasure was the perfect hike for someone who wants a dirt trail with rocks and roots along side a gorgeous cliff with a view that is a 10+!Written September 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ryan WPasadena, CA48 contributionsWe’ve never heard of NCAR but decided to drop in for a Wednesday noon tour. The group was fairly large - around 25 people.
Many interesting topics were covered including how weather is forecasted using supercomputers and how scientists are able to map out the planet’s temperature historically by drilling thousands of feet into polar ice. Our guide was excellent and able to answer all the questions thrown her way.
This center is also a great starting place for students interested in this field. It ties the academic with the real-world application.Written September 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was a short hike sandwiched between visits to Garden of the Gods and Rocky Mountain National Park.
You can do the whole hike in an hour.
The entrance was hard to locate; the GPS kept going past it. The parking is along the road and not in a lot. It is free.
Be aware that there is not a flat, paved path going to the falls.
There are several sets of stairs carved into the rock.
The falls are very photogenic.
It was not too crowded on the day we went because it looked like rain.
But, then the sun came out and more people showed up.
There is really only one good spot to pose in front of the falls; everyone jockeys for position.Written August 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great for both pedestrians and cyclists - you can take it all the way up to Boulder Canyon.Written July 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Suzi KBoulder, CO72 contributionsWe enjoyed the comic relief of the "Merry Wives of Windsor" especially so with everything going on in the world. The acting and costumers were excellent. The venue was nice and cool on a hot summer Sunday afternoon.Written July 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 54tomasCoral Springs, FL544 contributionsIf it’s Saturday you have to go. Very well run. The vendors are friendly and plenty of goodie’s to taste and buy.

- LostInTimePittsburgh, PA22,958 contributionsI took my kids here to see the campus. It’s a real nice one. Things are mostly together and the campus is pretty beautiful with the mountains behind it.

- IClean4FunCary, IL140 contributionsFun stop after hiking in Boulder. We enjoyed the beer selection at Avery and the food as well. If you like sours the Electric Sunshine was quite refreshing on a warm afternoon. The Veggie Tacos with pulled chicken was a large serving with roasted zucchini, squash, broccoli and kale. Staff was friendly and dining outside was enjoyable but did a bit hot even on a 75 degree afternoon.Written June 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
