Boulder Trip

This past Sunday and Group of guys and I took a trip up to Boulder. We took the 4 dollar bus out of Denver and it took just about an hour to get to the famous college town. Boulder is a cool little city filled with lots of little shops, a cool pedestrian shopping/dining area, and lots of college kids; but we were there with hiking in mind, and we came to the right place. Boulder rests directly next to the rocky mountains and the view is amazing. The picture on the left is one I took just as we were entering Boulder on the bus. After checking out the town we set off for the mountains. We took a bike path out of town that ran parallel to a rocky stream. The path was well used by walkers and bikers of all ages and there were many people sitting silently in the creek bed, either reading, writing, or just relaxing. Not after long we had reached the foot-hills. First chance we got we got we broke off from the bike path and started to make out way up a mountain. The trail we took was somewhat challenging with the occasional cliff which we (well at least my buddy Walker and I) were eager to climb. After about an hour of hiking we were satisfied and sat on a cliff for a little bit to soak up the view over Boulder all the way to the horizon.
