Most people arrive in Boulder with a clear picture already in mind.

Boulder reveals itself quietly, and that contrast often catches first-time visitors off guard.

Some were hiking before breakfast, others riding to work, students cruising to campus, parents pulling trailers with kids inside — it was obvious that Boulder wasn’t just a p…
