About Our Town

Boulder, nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and just 25 miles northwest of Denver, is the home of the University of Colorado, National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), start-up and internet companies, venture capitalists, and biotechnology companies. Our climate is best described as semi-arid, where the sun shines more than three hundred days a year - that's more sunny days than San Diego and Miami! Boulder has earned a well-deserved reputation for a great quality of life. If you love the outdoors and the offerings of a metropolitan area, you will feel at home in Boulder, Colorado.
