This beautiful town is located on the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and a perfect first stop after leaving Denver. Boulder is a University town, located about 45 kilometers northwest of Denver. The almost 300 days of sunshine are due in part to its elevation of over 1600 meters, combined with the dry alpine climate.
