My husband and I are in our 60s and our favorite pasttime in Boulder is biking on the Boulder Creek Path. It goes forever often times running parallel to the creek as it winds through the CU campus. It leads us from our son's house to Pearl Street where we can always find a refreshing beverage (mango mojito at Centro's... More

The Boulder bike paths are were all the homeless hang out. And I mean a lot. Avoid these bike paths. During the night they sleep there and during the daylight they are drunk and fighting. Lots of them have dogs which dart out in front of the bikes.

Whether you walk, run, or bike take in at least a bit of the Path. It will wind you through Bolder in a non traditional manner. Wonderful spots to stop .and read or walk the distance and get to the Farmer's Market

I love the trails along Boulder Creek. My family and I go often. I also walk alone with the dog and sometimes with friends. It is so soothing and calming to walk along the creek. but also energetic when the weather is good and everyone can get in the water.

I'm a big walker and often include parts of the Boulder Creek Path in my jaunts. There are loads of other really nice paths that meet up with this one so it's easy to create a cool circular route on the paths as well. If you're walking, there are lots of little dirt paths which run closer to the creek... More

The Creek Path is one of Boulder's jewels. It is fun to walk, especially west from Central Park past the library (or in the reverse direction). A fun bike ride is to go on the path from Boulder Canyon to 55th Street (and back). The path is often busy, especially on weekends, but it is very serene in the early... More

Pretty little path through town. Fun to walk, but very busy, even at an off time.

Boulder is known for all it's open spaces and healthy people. One thing I love about living here is how easy it is to get around town by using the many paths set up for non-motorized transportation. The Boulder Creek path connects to many others and there are always people on it somewhere. This one takes one into downtown and... More

It is a nice well maintained path but as a walker-it can be unsafe with all the bikes. Best to bike it
