One of the most compelling aspects of Boulder living is the seamless access to outdoor adventure. Just steps from the front gate of 358 Arapahoe, the Viewpoint Trail rises toward Flagstaff Mountain’s Panorama Point, where hikers can continue on to summit Green Mountain or descend into iconic Chautauqua Park. The photos here capture the proximity from the front door of unit C, and the beautiful vistas of Settler’s Park/Red Rocks, the residences, and the City of Boulder.
In addition to a plethora of hiking options, recreational activities abound from this incredible location:
- Cycling: Mountain bikers can launch onto the Boulder Creek Path and climb into Fourmile Canyon, Betasso Preserve, or Magnolia Road. Road cyclists test their endurance on the steep Flagstaff ascent—or push further to tackle the legendary “Super Flag.”
- Climbing: Rock climbers flock to Boulder Canyon, where granite crags host well-known sport routes like Elephant Buttresses, Avalon, the Canal Zone, Little Eiger, and Wall of the 90s.
- High alpine hiking: For those craving alpine terrain, a short 30-minute drive delivers access to the Indian Peaks Wilderness. Trailheads at Hessie, 4th of July Campground, and Moffat Tunnel open into a world of high-elevation day hikes.
- Paddling: Kayakers launch just across the street at Eben G. Fine Park, where early summer flows create challenging eddies and fast-moving creek runs.
- Skiing: When the snow falls, Eldora Mountain—just 30 minutes away—welcomes skiers of every level, from beginners to experts, with the charm of a locally owned resort.
In Boulder, luxury isn’t defined by designer labels but by time spent outside and the gear that fuels adventure. Here, the true privilege lies in the effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle—where the mountains meet the city.
