Boulder has been called by numerous publications one of the happiest, healthiest town in America. With an international community of intellectuals drawn by the state's premier university, a naturally stunning location backdropped by dramatic sandstone peaks, countless wooded trails for walking, running or biking plus a central creek for swimming, a worldly array of ethnic and continental eateries, numerous innovative microbreweries and a fully legal recreational marijuana industry it's not difficult to see why the progressive residents of this not-so-humble small city enjoy such a sublime quality of life.
