PEARL STREET – BOULDER COLORADO
A Visual Stroll
Boulder, Colorado, elevation 5430 feet and population @ 105,000, about 30 miles northwest of Denver, is a growing trendy community on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Home to The University of Colorado and also an expanding Google operation, there’s lots to love about Boulder. It’s an active community with wonderful biking opportunities including paved trails, bike friendly streets, and off road mountain biking for the truly adventurous. Hiking opportunities abound and of course there is loads of skiing in the winter season.
Pearl Street lies at the heart of Boulder and serves as an interesting and quirky hub of the central downtown district. Full of trendy bars and restaurants, retail shops of all sorts and always a gaggle of assorted street performers – there’s lots to see and do on Pearl Street.

Welcome to Pearl Street – Boulder, Colorado
In the distance, atop a ladder, a juggler entertains the crowd
Lots of food – Falafel anyone?
What can I say? Anyone want to channel Elvis?
After Elvis, perhaps it’s time for some tea……
Sit back, enjoy a bit of piano music.
Not to be outdone, this musician plays the piano while hanging upside-down from a pole by his feet. Have to admit – never saw that before!
Worked up an appetite? Lots of great Al Fresco dining. Yum!
Of course not everyone walks on Pearl Street.
Flowers, Fountains & Kids.
An enterprising artist. He uses leaves and pieces of plants and stuff to create art work on this large stone slab which is actually a fountain with water weeping down from the top. He simply wets his botanical materials and places them where they self adhere with the moisture. Genius!
Lots of food trucks and stands –
This one is just made for a nice warm day on Pearl Street
Lots of Wildlife On Pearl Street – Bronze Wildlife
How about a nice Latte? Sharing it with Spiderman?
Maybe a bit of shopping?
Soda Pop & Candy at Rocket Fizz
More Bronze Wildlife – a Buffalo – a University of Colorado Buffalo?
End the walk with a nice indoor / outdoor cafe – maybe a beer?
