This is a small chain but has great tacos and margaritas and a beautiful interior. It’s right on the Pearl St Pedestrian Mall so its a good stop after some shopping/people watching.

Another great texmex stop in Boulder - they have good tacos and queso dip. If you are gluten free they’ll serve you any taco in a lettuce shell which is 👌🏽 This is a more casual, relaxed place to eat.

Rayback is a fun stop for dinner or lunch if you’re spending the day in Boulder. Inside they have plenty of seating, a bar and a coffee shop and outside they have food trucks and games (cornhole). Very casual vibe and family friendly.

Hiking
Mount Sanitas is another favorite hike - it’s a 3.2 mile loop and can get busy. It has beautiful wildflowers, and is rated as a “difficult” hike so would recommend it for those in shape or who have experience.

If you want a trail that’s good for all experience levels, Chataqua is a great way to get outdoors and see the beautiful flatirons without too much strain. The paths are wide and good for casual strolls and you can pick how difficult of a trail you want to follow.
