Boulder has been coined as ‘twenty-files square miles surrounded by reality’, and it’s easy to see why. Boasting gorgeous weather and spectacular scenery, this is the perfect base for those who like fitness and activities as much as they like traveling. One of the best ways to experience beautiful Boulder is by walking or cycling along the Boulder Creek Path.

Spanning roughly 5.5 miles, it runs to Boulder Canyon on the west and Stazio Ballfields on the east. A microcosm of Colorado itself, the path covers vast plains and mountains, and brings up rural and urban landscapes as you pass by parks, shopping areas and seasonal fairs. Whether you’re on two wheels or two feet, here’s what to pack into your trip.
