Fun, friendly atmosphere that is locally owned. Great beer! Upslope website: Boulder, Colorado may not be huge, but its thirst for well-crafted beer is so giant it couldn’t be quenched with one Upslope tap room. So we gave it two. Our main production brewery at Flatiron Park, puts the “Park” in “Office Park.”

Locally owned, authentic Argentina food. The owner, Christian, takes great care to cook with the highest quality ingredients available in the market. An important part of this is his commitment to buy only locally raised natural meats and work with as many local producers as possible. You can tell the difference in every bite.

Hikes
The 3 mi. Mount Sanitas trail is very popular, and for good reason it is a tough but fun hike. It is short enough that there is little time commitment but it has a steep grade and little relief on the way up. You gain 1,300 ft in about a mile and a half. The trail is rocky and there are many places where you can break through the hogback formation to get great views of Boulder and Green Mountain. Going down the East Ridge trail is difficult and rocky, but again, great fun.

Gregory Canyon (1.1 mi; 900 ft.) goes west past the junction of the Saddle Rock Trail, crosses a ridge with spectacular outcrops and views. It then climbs to a saddle and drops into a drainage to end at a dirt road leading up to Realization Point.
Saddle Rock (1.3 mi; 1,400 ft.) branches south off the Gregory Canyon Trail, crosses a bridge and climbs to the junction of the upper end of Amphitheater Trail. Climbs steeply to Saddle Rock, a spectacular overlook worth a detour. The trail continues past Saddle Rock to end at E.M. Greenman Trail.
Post-flood Update - Saddle Rock Trail now has a ladder: OSMP crews had to rebuild the trail in locations where floodwater removed large sections of earth. Department crews also installed a ladder in a steep, flood-damaged section of trail. Visitors need to exercise caution while on the ladder. OSMP also advises that visitors should not allow their dogs to attempt to negotiate the ladder.
Bluebell-Baird (0.7 mi; 340 ft.) branches southeast off the Amphitheater Trail and climbs a ridge, then follows the ridge south past the Chautauqua and Bluebell Mesa Trails to end at the Bluebell Road just behind the Bluebell Shelter.
Amphitheater (0.4 mi; 540 ft.) crosses a bridge and goes up a draw past the junction with Bluebell-Baird Trail. It then follows a draw steeply up past Gregory Amphitheater, a little bay in the rocks where you often see rock climbers. The trail ends at Saddle Rock Trail.

This architecturally dazzling Persian teahouse was a gift from a sister city in Tajikistan. A Symbol of International Friendship. The tale of the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse is one that spans the entire Cold War (and then some). In 1983, a group of Boulderites led by Sophia Stoller and Mary Axe, set out to establish a sister-city relationship with a community in the then Soviet Union, hoping that it would increase international understanding and peace.
