If I could only use one word to sum up Boulder, Colorado it would be “wow”! This is one of the most naturally pretty places I’ve ever been.
Normally, I think of beautiful cities as places with some natural beauty which has been improved by man. For example, San Francisco. But then there are places like Boulder which simply need no improvement.
Boulder has more “Top 10” rankings than just about any place you can imagine (seriously, check out that link). And from what I saw, it deserves every one.
The bottom line is, I didn’t even scratch the surface of what all Boulder has to offer. When planning a trip to the Denver area I recommend at least two to three days in Boulder alone. Oh, and if I was a young person trying to decide where to go to college, I would seriously consider the University of Colorado.
Hm… the Outback probably deceived you. It is actually a pretty capable off roader. Not a rock climber like the Wranglers, but over mud and ruts and some reasonably technical stuff it handles no problem
