In Boulder, you can see unique sculptures and street art. You can walk along Boulder creek and hear the water trickling down. You can spot a wide variety of animals, and you might pass by a few cute dogs out for their walks as well. You can hear the sounds of the city and breathe in some much-needed fresh air. 

You can see the city from a different perspective, you can explore different neighborhoods, streets and paths that connect our unique city. Pop in your headphones and listen to that podcast that you’ve been looking forward to, listen to an eBook, call a friend that you haven’t talked to in a while or maybe just enjoy a few minutes away from technology and allow yourself to reconnect. Grab a friend and walk a path that neither of you has explored before, maybe you’ll find a new unique place that you love, or you’ll walk past a local business that you can’t wait to check out. 

Walking through the city may provide you with a unique perspective of the city, or it may inspire your next project or assignment, or maybe you just want to enjoy the fresh air and see what Boulder has to offer. 13th Street is a great place to start as it has been made a green street. So put on your walking shoes and explore this beautiful city.
