Darby's Top Reasons to Visit Boulder Falls

​

1. Moderately challenging, but short hike down stairs to a very cool water fall... I can dip my toes-ies in and (sshhh), sneak a drink.

2. Boulder Falls is made up of  North Boulder Creek cascading 70 feet to enter Middle Boulder Creek. ("Both very tasty", says Darby)

3. Visitors take their photographs at "Picture Rock"; a large gray boulder located just next to the road. 

4. Donated by a rich banker, Charles G. Buckingham, to the City of Boulder for land preservation for "saving this beautiful spot".   

5. A popular tourist destination since 1914, kiosks share its rich history.
