For how long I have lived in Boulder, you'd think I would spend a lot of time hiking Boulder Creek. I drive over it, but hadn't walked the trail for a long time. It was, well, see for yourself! With tons of snow melting in the mountains, the runoff is filling rivers. People chilled out... Continue Reading →
