Cresting over the hill as you arrive, it's easy to see why this intriguing town has been dubbed "the city nestled between the mountains and reality." At 5,430 feet above sea level, acres of vast open space roll into Boulder's quaint cityscape tucked into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
Boulder has been named one of the Foodiest Town's in America. While plentiful snacks and heavy hors d'oeuvres, sourced from local, organic producers will be provided to event attendees, we strongly encourage patronage of Boulder's fine organic restaurants. Details to follow.
