Pride in Boulder’s lifestyle
There are several aspects of Boulder life that appeal to our residents, as well as those who are drawn to move here. Our city, snuggling up to the foothills, at the base of the Rocky Mountains, has views for days and charm to match! Boulder reveals its mountainous marvels just as you drive over the crest of a hill on U.S. Route 36 coming from Denver, with the Boulder Flatirons showing themselves towering above the city. At the top of that hill is a designated viewing area, which grants breathtaking sights and fantastic photo opportunities.
As you drive deeper into town, you get to see the spectacles of the culture and our citizens in daily life. Walkers and bikers take center stage here in Boulder, as they hustle and spin their way around the relatively condensed 27 square miles that make up the area. All of that exercising makes Boulder one of the “most health-conscious” cities in the nation.
But, it doesn’t end there! Find a park spot downtown, especially Pearl Street, and your nose will be awash with the scents of health and wellness. Restaurants here delight in serving meals that please the senses, without upsetting the tummy.
In addition to walking and cycling, Boulder residents are known for their many holistic health practices - yoga, meditation, dance, and of course, hiking and rock climbing! Professionals are available to help get you into your chosen activity, and when you’re ready, there are numerous clubs and groups just waiting to accept you into the fold. If you are looking for a place to work on your body, Boulder is it!
