TRANSPORTATION AND LODGING
The City:
Boulder, Colorado is an idyllic setting, nestled at the foot of the majestic Rocky
Mountains. Centrally located within an hour of Denver, Denver International Airport,
Eldora Ski Resort and Rocky Mountain National Park makes Boulder a very desirable
destination. It is a captivating mountain community enriched with natural beauty,
recreational activities, and an endless slate of cultural and musical events. Populated by
approximately 95,000 residents, plus 30,000 students annually at the University of
Colorado, Boulder is the 11th largest city in the state with an elevation of 5,430 feet. The
weather is commonly sunny, mild and dry and being outdoors at any time of year is a
delight. The Indian Peaks region of the Colorado Rockies are directly to the West of
Boulder with peaks ranging form 12,000 to 14,000 feet. If you are able to muster up any
free time, you may find yourself checking out the Pearl Street outdoor mall, dining at one
of the more than 300 restaurants, stopping at almost any corner for gourmet coffee
or grabbing a beer at a local microbrewery.
Plan an extra day for Boulder on your travel schedule; you won't want to miss a single session.
