Boulder

We changed things up a bit this trip and only stayed in the Denver area for two days before heading up to Boulder. When we lived here in 2008-2010, Boulder was much more of a separate place than it is today. It feels more like a suburb of Denver now with all of the growth. Anyway, we stayed at a cool Hyatt right downtown Boulder and just loved it.

We hit some new trails we'd never hiked before and it was just gorgeous. We had such awesome weather in the middle of March!

Another day, another trail

I never get tired of the CO views

Flatirons!

Happy hikers. Again.

We love the walkability of Boulder. We meandered about 1.5 miles from our hotel with ease to grab breakfast at a local eatery. It was delicious and being able to walk there was just so fun!

Awesome breakfast at The Buff Restaurant

Of course Jackson was not happy just walking around town so we went up into the mountains. They were having wildfires (it smelled so good) so we had to change our hiking plans, but it all worked out.

Looks like we made it!

New friends!

We really enjoyed being in Boulder. It just has such a different energy and the people are obsessed with the environment which is refreshing. We spent time at coffee shops and just kind of hanging out. It was a great time to relax and unwind during a stressful part of the year for me!

We spent a last afternoon in Denver hitting up our favorite park, Washington Park, before hopping a late evening flight back to Indy.

Excited for a blue Starbucks cup!

Unimpressed about going home

We love Denver and we hope to visit again soon!
