Downtown’s pedestrian Pearl Street Mall includes art galleries, cafes, restaurants and boutiques. The University of Colorado Boulder campus is home to the Fiske Planetarium and the Museum of Natural History, with zoology and anthropology exhibits.
Boulder is a large mountain city located about 25 miles northwest of Denver. With approximately 100,000 people (according to 2010 estimates) spread over just 26 square miles, Boulder has one of the largest population densities in the state. Located in the Boulder Valley, the area where the Rocky Mountains meet the Great Plains, the city boasts some of the most stunning geography nationwide. The Flatirons, a line of massive flat rock formations, are located just west of the city.
