Boulder Colorado is a chic city of about 100,000 residents that sits in the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains located 20 minute from Denver. This city is mostly known for its beautiful surroundings and the University of Colorado at Boulder, but there is so much more to Boulder Colorado than just that. This eco-conscious city is also known for its lively nightlife, booming economy, green innovations, passion for the outdoors, diverse population, and forward thinking ways.  Boulder Colorado is jokingly referred to as the “Republic of Boulder” because for all intensive purposes it is a self-contained community that prides themselves on a different way of approaching everyday life, local business, education, and its natural resources.
