Man-Cation
Let’s Go Guys, take a Mancation to Boulder!
A guy’s day, “mancation” in Boulder is full of outdoor activities and eating. Start off the morning with an epic climb at Eldorado Canyon State Park (303.449.3943). Eldo, as it is known by the locals, is home to world renowned rock climbing and has even been climbed by Royal Robbins and Yvonne Chounard. For information or to hire a guide check with the Boulder Rock Club (2829 Mapleton Ave. 303.447.2804).
Once your blood is pumping head back to town for a tasty breakfast at the Buff Restaurant (1725 28th St. 303.442.9150). In their lodge-like atmosphere you can choose between hearty homestead skillets or dishes with Southwest flavor. If you feel like indulging at this early hour the restaurant offers 99 cent Mimosas and Bloody Marys.
Once your stomach is full and you’re ready to hit the road, consider catching aUniversity of Colorado sporting event (303.49.BUFFS). No matter what season, there’s always a competitive event on campus. If it’s a fall afternoon head to Folsom Field for football festivities and during the winter months make your way into Coors Event Center for a Big 12 basketball game.
If you don’t feel like watching a sport and would rather participate, you’ve come to the right town. Boulder has premier biking and hiking trails suitable for all levels. For a moderate day hike head to the Mt. Sanitas trailhead (west past 4th & Mapleton St.), from there wind your way up the mountain to a great overlook of the Boulder Valley.
Once the afternoon hunger sets in it’s time to head downtown to Boulder’s original brewpub, the Walnut Brewery (1123 Walnut St.303.447.1345). Just one block off of the Pearl Street Mall the relaxed atmosphere will allow you to catch up with friends while you reward yourself with a freshly brewed beer and a bite to eat.
Before you get the night started take a walk down Walnut St. to Johnny’s Cigar Bar(1801 13th St. 303.449.0884)for a stogie and an after dinner drink. While Boulder is known for its athletic culture, its live music scene should not be overlooked. There are few better ways to spend the evening hours than in the Boulder Theater(2032 14th St. 303.786.7030) for some live music.
