 Nature in the city |
Parallels Arapahoe Avenue Boulder, CO 80302 United States +1 303 441 3200 http://www.ci.boulder.co.us/ |
This paved path, free of motorized vehicles, brings walkers, bikers and inline skaters from the eastern edge of Boulder proper to the mountains. Winding along Boulder Creek, the trail accesses shady, grassy picnic areas and trout ponds. Eventually the pathway meanders through a large park and playground, perfect for kids and dogs. On the trail's western fringe, just before it wanders into the foothills, kayakers and inner-tubers can negotiate a series of small waterfalls. A section of the path is just a few blocks west of the Pearl Street Mall, and makes for an easy diversion from shopping and a refreshing side trip into nature. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Canyon waterfalls |
Canyon Blvd Boulder, CO 80302 United States |
Fed by mountain snow melt from North Boulder Creek this cascading chute of white water is a true spectacle. Located in a shaded canyon, just minutes west of Boulder, it provides a nice haven from the heat during the height of summer. However, be forewarned that the spot can get crowded. From the intersection of Canyon Boulevard and Ninth Street follow Canyon west for 7.2 miles. The falls are on the right. The site is heavily marked, and there is plenty of parking.

Views, streams, rocks |

With 45 miles of meandering trails, this recreation expanse is a favorite among outdoor lovers. Campers, picnickers, hikers, bikers and fishermen enjoy the streams, ponderosa pine forests, dramatic rock outcroppings and open meadows filled with wildflowers. In the winter, snowshoers and cross-country skiers take advantage of the park, just 30-minutes south of Boulder. The center also provides maps detailing the hiking and mountain biking trails. A leash law is in effect throughout the park. Make reservations if you plan to camp. Review © 2007, Wcities |
