Boulder County Colorado comes to life in winter and spring. The slopes are so close. So are the ice rinks, bowling alleys, indoor recreation centers and art galleries. On the “First Friday” of each month, you’ll find down-coated art lovers sipping free wine at the galleries in Boulder. In April, open-space trails suddenly bloom with wildflowers as parents, children, pups, athletes and meanderers come out to breathe it all in. For a perfect spring day, follow a brisk nature walk with an early picnic dinner on the sprawling grounds of the Colorado Chautauqua Association (avoiding the lawn, which is closed for restoration), and finish the evening with a Frequent Flyers aerial dance performance or a night with the Longmont Symphony Orchestra. The locals are in on the best of Boulder County. Let us show you what we know.
