hat’s your favorite Colorado season?

That’s a tough question to answer. We live in a state that shines year-round, replete with outdoor recreation, cultural enrichment and good, oldfashioned fun. But summer is a time when Colorado really shines.

Whether it’s concerts in the mountains or Shakespeare under the stars, our state has it all. Here in Boulder County,

Boulder Weekly Summer Scene ’10

we’ve got RockyGrass and the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, not to mention more than 200 miles of Open Space and Mountain Parks trails for hikers, bikers and equestrians.

A quick drive up Highway 36 brings you to the treasures of Rocky Mountain National Park, where you can drive along scenic Trail Ridge Road, picnic among aspen and ponderosa pine, or backpack along the Continental Divide.

Fun adventures lie else-

where in the state as well, from the Telluride Bluegrass Festival high in the San Juans to Dinosaur National Monument in the northwest corner of the state.

To help make it easier for you to plan your best summer ever, we’ve put together a list of fun things to see and do, including some of the best places to visit here in Boulder County and across the state.

We hope you take time to slow down this summer and enjoy the dog days of colorful Colorado.

he Boulder History Museum is celebrating its 66th summer this year, and there’s no shortage of events and activities. The summer-long exhibit Power of Music: Photographic Portraits of Americans and their Musical Instruments 1860-1915, opens on May 28 and will feature a large collection of Boulder History Museum photographs of musicians from the 19th century. The exhibit gives a visual history of music, instruments and musicians from the eastern and western United States.

“The reason we chose this exhibit is because of how much music there is in Boulder,” says Susan Linde, marketing director for the museum. tograph can give you clues to its “During the summer months, there’s date, who made it, and I wanted to the Colorado Music Festival, the learn everything I could about early RockyGrass Festival out in Lyons. music, and that included the photoThere’s such a wealth of music based graphs of the musicians themselves.” in Boulder.”

Gardener bought the guitar for a mere $120, had it refurbished and now plays it as part of his exhibit presentation. It looks exactly like the instrument in his tintype photograph.

Gardener’s exhibit and presentation isn’t the only thing happening this summer at the Boulder Museum. The museum will also host a Preschool Discovery Hour on the first Wednesday of each month for 3- to 5-year-olds, where kids play games, do activities and dress up for different themes of the day.

A sampling of CU’s best sights and sites, by foot

hile there are many great sights to see during a Boulder County summer, one of the highlights has to be the Boulder campus of the University of Colorado.

Sure, a stroll along Pearl Street Mall or a Chautauqua trail shouldn’t be missed, but no visit to the area is complete without checking out a handful of CU attractions.

With its Tuscany-inspired red-tile rooftops, stacked-sandstone walls and meticulous landscaping, the campus is one of the most beautiful in the world, and even longtime locals can find a surprise here.

With the possible exception of the Euclid lot, parking on campus can be a pain, so you might try scoring a metered spot on the northwest side, along University between 17th and Broadway. From there, you can see the backside of your first stop, the towering Macky Auditorium. This 1923 gothic theatre has seen

Boulder Weekly Summer Scene ’10

everyone from Eleanor Roosevelt to Jerry Garcia pass through its doors, and there are rumors that it’s haunted by the ghost of a female student who was murdered by a janitor in 1966 in the building’s west tower.

If the ghosts don’t get you, only a handful of steps to the southwest stands the university’s very first building, Old Main. Built in 1877, when the land was just a prairie bereft of trees, this structure now houses a CU history museum on its third floor, where you can see everything from an alum astronaut’s moon rock to CU grad Glenn Miller’s trombone to a faculty member’s Nobel Prize.

Stroll out the south door, and you’ll be on Norlin Quadrangle, which is at its best in the summer months. To the east, you’ll see Norlin Library, with the inscription “Who knows only his own generation remains always a child” above its main entrance. But head southeast along the paths that will take you to the Dalton Trumbo Fountain, a designated free-speech zone

that has seen many a protest. Peek in the massive University Memorial Center, and if you’re hungry, grab a bite in the food courts or pick up a stuffed CU mascot, Ralphie the buffalo, in the bookstore. You could also bowl a few frames in The Connection, a student lounge/café/bowling alley.

After visiting the UMC, go back out to the fountain area and head due west, through an archway, and you’ll see the outdoor Mary Rippon Theatre, where you’ll return later to catch an evening performance of the Colorado Shakespeare Festival. Hang a left into the Henderson Building, the home of CU’s Museum of Natural History, where you can see everything from a giant triceratops skull to Native American art. There’s a cool little nook on the bottom floor for kids to play and explore.

If you’re up for more walking, go back the way you came, then head west from the fountain area through the covered walkway of the UMC May 20, 2010 9

Loggia. Making your way northeast, you can check out CU’s brand-spanking-new visual arts center and, beyond that, the hightech ATLAS Building.

Continue north and then east along 18th Street and Colorado Avenue, passing the Ketchum Building where Ward Churchill used to work before he got canned.

Soon you’ll descend into the shadows of Folsom Stadium, where, if you’re lucky, you might be able to take in the stellar view of the field and the Flatirons from the club level (try the elevators on the east side of the stadium).

Finally, if you’re not too exhausted yet, work your way south by southeast across campus to the Fiske Planetarium, on the south side of Regent Drive (enjoy that new tunnel under Regent; that crossing used to involve taking your life in your hands). If you can, catch a show at Fiske, or just browse the exhibits around the lobby area.

Still not done? More south-bysouthwest trekking will get you to the impressive architecture of the Wolf Law Building.

Oh, did you want to get back to your car? It’s on the complete opposite side of campus. Sorry about that.

But if you head west and return along Broadway (don’t forget to hang a right on University to find your vehicle), you can get a taste of the shops and restaurants on The Hill, which will make it worth the trip.

Chautauqua Park 900 Baseline Rd. Boulder, CO 303-442-3282 www.chautauqua.com

Opened in 1898, the Colorado Chautauqua, one of three operational Chautauquas left in the U.S., is a hub of community and cultural events in Boulder. The Chautauqua Auditorium hosts everything from a silent film series to live concerts, and food is available at the Dining Hall. Also, Chautauqua Park is the gateway to many of the best trails in Boulder Mountain Parks.

Dinosaur National Monument 4545 E. Highway 40 Dinosaur, CO 970-374-3000 www.nps.gov/dino

It’s about a five-hour drive, but it’s worth it. Survey the craggy hills and explore fragments of a long-ago world where the largest land creatures of all time once roamed and died.You can view rock art, check out fossils, explore homestead sites and even go whitewater rafting. Take I-70 west to Rifle, head north on Hwy. 13, then west on Hwy. 64 to Dinosaur, then east on Hwy. 40 two miles.

While there are lots of sights to see in the Colorado Springs area (check out Seven Falls and Cave of the Winds, as well), this one takes the cake. Incredible red rock formations, including one in the shape of two camels kissing, sit at the foot of majestic Pike’s Peak, one of Colorado’s fourteeners. You can rock climb, check out the visitor’s center, hike one of the many trails, or just drive through the park, gawking up through your sunroof.

To get there from I-25 in Colorado Springs, take Garden of the Gods road west, then hang a left on 30th Street.

Georgetown Loop Railroad 888-456-6777 www.georgetownlooprr.com

Colorado has several historic tourist trains, including the Cumbres & Toltec and the Durango & Silverton, but the Georgetown Loop is closest — only about 45 minutes west of Denver on I-70. It was an engineering marvel in its time, gaining 600 feet in elevation

over a two-mile stretch thanks to its corkscrew turns, including one over the majestic Devil’s Gate High Bridge. After your ride, step back in time by visiting any of the charming shops or restaurants in Victorian Georgetown or rustic Silver Plume.

Great Sand Dunes National Park 11999 Highway 150 Mosca, CO 719-378-6399 www.nps.gov/grsa

One of the most incredible spots in our state is only a four-hour drive away. The dunes, the tallest in North America, are quite a sight, nestled between alpine peaks and desert.

Sandboarding or sledding down the dunes is key, but there are also opportunities for hiking, backpacking, riding, camping and mountain climbing in the area. Take I-25 south to Walsenburg, then head west on U.S. 160 and turn north onto Hwy. 150.

Royal Gorge Bridge and Park 4218 County Road 3A Cañon City, CO 719-275-7507 www.royalgorgebridge.com

With 21 rides, shows and attractions on 360 amazing acres, there is plenty to do at this classic Colorado vacation destination. The crown jewel is the world’s highest suspension bridge, strung across a canyon 1,053 feet above the Arkansas River. There’s also the cliff walk, inspiration point, a petting zoo, a mountain man encampment and a water clock. Take I-25 south to Pueblo, then west on U.S. 50, then south on CR-3A. And make sure there’s lots of film in your camera.

hy we live here, why we stay, what we love about Boulder County — it always comes back to the mountains. The geological accident that makes up Boulder County’s backyard is nothing less than breathtaking. Rising to more than 8,000 feet in elevation from the plains, the foothills offer every opportunity you can imagine to exercise, relax, take in nature and restore one’s sense of well-being.

The city owns more than 43,000 acres of open space, while Boulder County owns almost 89,000 acres, from mountain meadows to prairie grasslands.

With a combined total of more than 200 miles of trails for hikers, bikers and equestrians, open space and mountain parks lands attract more than a million visitors each year, making the outdoors Boulder County’s greatest attraction.

If you’re new to the area or are perhaps just passing through, you’ll want to take time to explore the abundant trails and views of our city and county parks. Here are some suggestions for ways to spend your summer days. Like our trails, they’re rated green, yellow or red based on difficulty and/or the amount of time required.

Be sure to carry plenty of water, as well snacks and sunscreen. Rocky Mountain sun can give you an unforgettable burn. And if you’re from the lowlands, you’ll want to watch for any sign of altitude sickness: shortness of breath, headache, nausea, fatigue and dizziness. Take it easy during your first few days in Colorado and work your way up slowly.

gulch that rises up to forested slopes and carries you to a natural sandstone arch overlooking the plains. As you hike along, listen for the cascading song of the canyon wren, which likes the shady parts of the trail.

This trail isn’t long, but it is steep and rocky.

Reaching the arch requires some quick scramble. But if women in long dresses and heeled boots can hike it (as they did back in the 19th century), then most of us can, too. Be sure to bring your camera. Set aside about two hours for this hike.

on Baseline Road until you reach Chautauqua Park. Take a left and make a loop around the actual park. You’ll pass cottages, some of which have stood at Chautauqua since a group of teachers from Texas used the land for summer learning and adventure. Chautauqua Auditorium is a National Historic Landmark and has been home to concerts, lectures and films for more than 100 years.

Continue west on Baseline as it winds up Flagstaff Mountain, stopping at the scenic overlooks along the way. In the summer months, you’ll find park rangers on duty to give you information about everything from park rules to flora and fauna to the geology of the Flatirons.

If you’re not from Boulder County, you’ll need to pay a fee to park.

At the top of Flagstaff, you’ll be able to enjoy awe-inspiring views, Flagstaff Amphitheatre and the Flagstaff Nature Center, which offers exhibits and information about the natural environment of this area and which is engrossing for audiences of all ages.

Bear Peak — Bear Peak is the pointy peak in Boulder’s backyard.

This is not a climb for beginners or small children. Be prepared to spend five to seven hours on this climb. The effort is well worth it.

Start at the Walter Orr Roberts trailhead behind NCAR. When it connects with the Mesa Trail, head south (right) until you meet the Bear Canyon cut-off, which heads west up Bear Canyon. You’ll pass through a wide variety of foothills landscapes — meadows with yucca and chokecherry bushes, little creeks, rock formations and much more. Ponderosa pine forest gives way to other evergreens, as well as groves of aspen.

When the trail intersects with the one coming down off the south side of Green Mountain, follow it along the west ridge of Bear Peak, enjoying the views of higher peaks to the west.

The last bit of the hike turns into scramble, as you climb over rocks to reach the summit.

Again, be sure to bring plenty of water. And because summer in the Rockies often means afternoon thunderstorms, get an early start so that you can be off the summit before 2 p.m.

S

ummer is a special time in Colorado. The word conjures up memories of the hot sun beating down onto your back on the mountain biking trail, the rush of the cold river water spraying your face as you navigate a rapid, and the lush and vibrant carpet of colorful wildflowers in a valley deep in the mountains. And, for a growing number of music lovers, it sparks memories of covered stages, Americana melodies and tent cities filled with friendly folks and a deeply personable sense of community.

Colorado is home to many bluegrass festivals, and the music plays a vital role in our state’s music scene.

If you haven’t yet gone to one of these events, you’re missing out on a key facet of Colorado culture. So get your tent, your cooler, your sunscreen, and pick and choose from a glorious selection of summer music festivals.

Bluegrass on the River June 4-6 Greenway Nature Center 5200 Nature Center Rd. Pueblo It’s pronounced “Pweh-blow,” not “Pew-blow” or “Pee-eb-low,” and when it comes to music, Pueblo has a lot to offer.

Located at the confluence of the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek on the southern end of the Front Range, Pueblo is rich in history and culture, as well as opportunities for recreation. Every summer, the Pueblo Greenway and Nature Center hosts a bluegrass festival that rivals the best in the state. Bluegrass on the River is the perfect showcase for the best of what Pueblo has to offer, and its perfectly located stages have few rivals as far as great places to hear music go. It’s worth the trip if you can make it.

It’s reasonably priced, too:The whole weekend will only cost you $35.Tickets are available for individual days, as well.

Friday will only cost you $8, Saturday $20, and Sunday $15. For more information, check out www.natureandraptor.org/ BluegrassOnTheRiver.html, or call 719549-2414.

And don’t forget to pick up some of Palisade’s famous peaches while you’re there — they make the ones grown in Georgia taste like prunes.

Not even exaggerating.

Though the festival is in its sophomore year, it has attracted senior-level talent such as Hot Buttered Rum, Head for the Hills and Spring Creek. In addition, Palisade puts on its best hosting clothes and offers a delectable smattering of local foods, brews and wines for sampling.

Boulder Weekly Summer Scene ’10

May 20, 2010 37

F

inding something to do in Boulder during the summer is hard, and not because there’s nothing going on.

Unlike the residents of, say, Maza, N.D., (population: 5), we never have to worry about what to do on a Saturday night. We have more going on here in one summer than most places have all year, and we’ve listed some of the most exciting, entertaining and enlightening events in the county for your planning convenience.

This year we welcome back annual favorites like the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, which will offer up productions of Measure for Measure, King Lear and The Taming of the Shrew. The Colorado State Fair, a summer tradition since 1872, kicks off 12 days of music, rodeo, food and livestock shows on Aug. 27 in Pueblo, so be sure to dust off your cowboy hat and shine up your spurs.

The Boulder Farmers’ Market will be bustling all season, too, Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings, and the Boulder Creek Festival, considered the unofficial beginning of summer for more than 20 years, will be held May 29-31.

Beer buffs and film aficionados will have plenty to keep them busy this summer, too, with the Breckenridge Festival of Film and the Snowmass Chili Pepper and Brew Fest being just two of the many events this year. So get out your calendar and pencil in some fun for the next three months!

Boulder Public Library Summer Cinema Program

Boulder Public Library 1000 Canyon Blvd., Boulder Pioneered and coordinated by film aficionado Joel Haertling, the Boulder Public Library Summer Cinema Program goes beyond popcorn flicks and offers up films that are themed, eye-opening and just plain fun for the whole family. This year’s lineup includes a little bit of everything, from avantgarde films about water to a collection of shorts created for the once-popular Scopitone, a jukebox that projects motion pictures via rear projection.

This summer’s schedule kicks off with The Gleaners and I, a French documentary by Agnes Varda that looks at gleaning, the practice of collecting leftover crops after a harvest. Varda doesn’t confine herself to the field, however, and the film introduces urbanite gleaners, city dwellers picking through other people’s remnants for food, knickknacks or simple inspiration.

Later in the summer, BPL will screen Woody Allen’s Sleeper, a sci-fi parody shot largely in and around Boulder, and the much-lauded documentary The Cove.

You can also brush up on your history with a screening of the Nixon Interviews with David Frost. To celebrate another summer tradition, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, BPL will be showing the 1967 Taming of the Shrew, featuring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

All films are free and open to the public and start at 7 p.m. on the dot. For more information, call 303-441-3197, or visit boulderlibrary.org/events/films.html.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION Film on the Rocks

Red Rocks Amphitheater Morrison Going to see a movie at Red Rocks Amphitheater is like going to a drive-in, except fun. Instead of sitting in your stuffy car in a weedy parking lot, you can sit out under the stars, take in the awe-inspiring view and enjoy your favorite cult classics on the enormous outdoor screen.

Sponsored by the Denver Film Society in conjunction with the City and County of Denver, this summer tradition is just one more reason Red Rocks is the country’s favorite venue.

This summer’s schedule will be announced soon, so be sure to check out their website at www.redrocksonline.com or the Denver Film Society at www.denverfilm.org.

Garbage Dreams at Boulder Public Library

Boulder Outdoor Cinema

Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (back lot) 1750 13th St., Boulder After you’ve gotten your fill of all the great art inside the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, check out the great films, old and new, showing throughout the summer on their outdoor venue, right behind BMoCA and just next to the Dushanbe Teahouse.

This Boulder tradition kicks off July 10, and though the schedule hasn’t been decided yet, past screenings have included old favorites like Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Princess Bride, along with recent blockbusters like Slumdog Millionaire. Stay tuned to www.boulderoutdoorcinema.com for more information, or call 888-881-FILM.

Chautauqua Silent Film Series

Chautauqua Auditorium 900 Baseline Rd., Boulder It’s hard to believe that the first “talkie” was only released in 1927. Films have come a long, long way in the 83 years since The Jazz Singer first wowed audiences. The Silent Film Series at Chautauqua Auditorium takes audiences back to the days, not all that long ago, really, before computerized special effects, stereo surround-sound and overblown budgets became more important than great stories. The films showcased this summer range from Chaplin’s iconic dramedy The Kid to the suspenseful thriller The Cat and the Canary.

Pianist Hank Troy returns this year to provide live musical accompaniment so that patrons can enjoy these classics as they were originally intended. For more information, call 303-442-3282, or visit www.chautauqua.com

Schedule

May 26 Reaching for the Moon June 2 Our Hospitality June 23 Beloved Rogue June 30 The Kid July 14 Clash of the Wolves July 28 Her Night of Romance August 11 Grandma’s Boy August 25 The Cat and the Canary Sept. 1 The Italian Straw Hat Sept. 8 Flesh and the Devil

Breckenridge Festival of Film

Films at the Boulder Theater

Boulder Theater 2032 14th St., Boulder Seeing a favorite band or singer at the Boulder Theater is a treasured memory for many Boulderites, and this venue has played host to its share of big names, like Tori Amos and Johnny Cash.

For more than 50 years of its history, however, the theater was just that: a great place to go see great films. And it still is, especially over the summer when it hosts events like the annual Bike Shorts Film Fest.

The theater is also home to the Boulder Weekly Film Series, which includes ever-popular screenings of The Big Lebowski. For more information or the latest schedule of films, call 303-7867030, or visit www.bouldertheater.com

Moondance International Film Festival

Sept. 24-26 Several locations in Boulder As summer begins to fade into autumn, there’s still time for one more film festival. Dedicated to peace, love and understanding, Moondance International Film Festival will be celebrating its 11th year with nearly a hundred independent films, workshops, pitch panels and networking parties, as well as great local cuisine and brews.

June 10-13 Breckenridge Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the Breckenridge Festival of Film is not only one of the oldest film fests in America, but the most scenic as well.

Hosted by film critic Jeffrey Lyons and situated in the beautiful ski town of Breckenridge, this festival is popular for its great films and high level of audiencefilmmaker interaction.

In addition to brushing shoulders with one of your favorite directors, you might also catch a sneak peak at a future blockbuster. American Beauty and Shawshank Redemption both debuted here.

Telluride Film Festival

Sept. 3-6 Telluride In the lull between ski seasons, there’s another good reason to visit the little mountain resort town of Telluride: the star-studded, drama-filled Telluride Film Festival. Cinephiles from around the world will converge here for the 37th year this September, but they won’t know what they’ll get to see until opening day.

Organizers keep the list of titles that will be screened under wraps until the festival kicks off on Sept. 3, but with past premieres like The Crying Game and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this is sure to be a great way to spend Labor Day weekend.
