Half way up Boulder Canyon (9 miles) is the impressive Boulder Falls. Drive eighteen miles and you will come to the mountain town of Nederland with it's collection of local shops and eateries. And you won't want to miss the carousel, created by a Vietnam vet as a memorial for his comrades, who didn't come home. In the winter you can ski at Eldora Mountain Resort. The beginner to advanced runs are only forty minutes from Boulder.
