What we’re about
Boulder Ramblers was founded in 2015 by Colorado-based Walk2Connect in partnership with the City of Boulder. For six years, we operated as the Boulder chapter of Walk2Connect, offering free community walking, hiking, and rambling trips in and throughout Boulder County, CO, with a focus on building genuine connections to others, to the places we live, and to ourselves. In 2021, the Boulder Ramblers community assumed ownership of this group to keep rambling together!
Our community members host walks, hikes, and urban adventures every week throughout the year. Check our calendar to find what's coming up. We focus on urban hiking: exploring the quiet streets, multi-use paths, and trail systems east of the foothills (with some adventures in the higher elevations within Boulder city limits). Please be sure to read the walk/hike descriptions carefully to determine whether a particular adventure is right for you. We tend to move at a steady "fitness" pace (2.5-3 MPH), unless otherwise noted.
This group offers great ways to get to know local urban trail systems and find creative, appealing ways to connect destinations in Boulder, Louisville, Superior, Lafayette, and beyond by foot. We advocate for "life at 3 miles per hour," slowing down the pace of life to appreciate how we are connected to everything around us. We are a safe, welcoming and affirming community that supports people of all backgrounds, identities, and circumstances.
Check back often as new walks will be added throughout the year. Have a great idea for a walk or urban hike? We'd love to hear from you!
