This is the closest supermarket to the north end of town, but I think it's worth 10 more minutes to go to King Soopers.

The best place for a quick hike that will get your heart pumping. Go straight for the valley hike (about 2 miles up and back) for a gradual climb on a wide and groomed trail, or hang a left and go up the ridge that connects with the valley for the way back. It's the Boulder stairmaster and not for the weak of heart! Dogs are allowed on this trail. They must be leashed unless you have completed the Voice and Sight Command training and are displaying appropriate tags.

Sightseeing

All summer long the Chautauqua artist series hosts musicians, performers, speakers, and films in their historic barn auditorium. You can take in a show for free by packing a picnic, blanket, and chairs, and hang out on the lawn. You won't be able to see the performance but you can hear it while lounging under the stars.
