davedlg 0 #6 May 17, 2007 Go hiking in the mountains outside of town. There are a lot of places to go...Eldorado Canyon, Chataqua Park, Mt. Sanitas, Settlers Park. Or just go for a walk on the Boulder creek Trail. Lots of good bars: The Dark Horse, The Sink, The Walrus, The Foundry, Walnut Brewery, Sundowner, Catacombs, Redfish, Mamacitas (owned by a fellow skydiver), you get the idea... Eat at Illegal Petes, it's kind of like Chipotle but better. There is always something happening on Pearl Street Mall..lots of interesting shops, eating places, etc. and if you'll be in town on a Tuesday night, let me know and I'll have a beer with you!

sartre 0 #11 May 17, 2007 Ooh, what night do you drink in Highlands Ranch? And Jewels, you are a dork. The cutest dork ever, but a dork nonetheless. Love ya!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jewels 0 #12 May 17, 2007 Quote And Jewels, you are a dork. The cutest dork ever, but a dork nonetheless. Love ya!! I *am* a dork. I can't help it. (Wait--now I have to go read the Disadvantaged People thread and see if dork-ism qualifies.) But, in any event, that doesn't mean Boulder will be any less fun! The hiking suggestions are all good. I also think there might be a rock climbing gym up that way if you are into that.TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
