Beyond campus: The Boulder bucket list
CU Boulder students know this place is special. While our students journey through their
college experience, they also make time to get out, have fun and grow their community of
friends. We’ve created a CU Boulder bucket list based on our students’ favorite activities.
These are a few must-sees and must-dos while at CU Boulder.
Explore our town . . .
In one hour:
Walk the Boulder Creek Path
With beautiful views and people walking, running and
biking the path, you’ll get a good sense of what this
town is about.
In one day:
Hike Chautauqua Park
A local favorite, the hiking trails provide amazing
views and great elevation gain. Don’t forget to bring
lots of water!
Visit the CU Boulder Art Museum
Check out our on-campus art museum, showcasing various
collections and exhibitions throughout the year. All art Buffs
are welcome, admission is free and open to the public.
Rent a bike and explore the town
You can rent white Boulder BCycle pedal-assist e-bikes
all around town. Bike from south Boulder, through campus,
into downtown and up to north Boulder to experience the
city in full.
