The minute you see Boulder’s iconic Flatirons (the slanting, reddish sandstone slabs at the base of the foothills), you’ll want to get a closer look. Hike right up to them using the Chautauqua Trail, which traverses a sprawling plot of open space with dozens of other trails of varying levels of difficulty.
While BMoCA normally charges $1 admission, the museum is free every Saturday and Wednesday evenings during the Boulder Farmers’ Market. Boundary-pushing and genre-bending contemporary art exhibitions await your discovery inside this small but worthwhile museum.
