Tour guests will make a stop at Boulder's historic Chautauqua Park positioned at the foothills of the Flatirons. Our guides will talk to the group about the historical significance of the park as well as modern activities that the park hosts each year.

Stop 5

Our tours typically pass through the CU Boulder campus en route from South Boulder back to Downtown Boulder. Our groups may stop at the buffalo shaped lap pool, visit the rooftop of the Memorial Center, or travel the network of bike paths through the beautiful campus.

As a part of our City Tour our groups will take secluded residential streets and quiet bike paths up to this mountaintop research facility offering one of the best vistas of both the Front Range and City of Boulder. Although we don't often stop inside the research facility our guides will offer information about the facility in between both climbing and descending one of Boulder's most exciting roads.

Stop 7

See the home of the Buffs! At the center of campus we'll peek in to CU's beautiful football stadium.

As one of our last destinations along our tour route we discuss one of Boulder's most used public spaces, make suggestions on how to navigate the twice-weekly farmer's market and point out the interesting history of Boulder's Tea House.
