Boulder sits at the base of the Rockies.
Approximately 87,000 residents call the city their home. The city's laid-back appeal continues to draw people here from every locale and from all walks of life. Boulder enjoys its own ski area, a winter playground called Eldora Mountain Resort. So although Colorado boasts ski trails and resorts everywhere you look, Boulder residents don't have to venture far to take advantage of what is undeniably the state's most popular sport. The city also maintains an extensive network of parks and trails for hikers, bikers, and walkers.
