Colorado Football Fan Experience

I'm a Massachusetts resident and I've been a fan of Colorado football
for the past 20 years. My wife and I are making our first trip to
Boulder for the Cal game.
Any suggestions of things I need to: do; see; take a picture of;
experience; eat to get the full fan experience.

Thanks all
 
We were building a sticky forum that had great info on what to do but I'm not sure we completed it. I'll look for it.


And Welcome. Go Buffs!

I did a quick search, but can't remember the thread title. I searched "best of boulder" with no luck.
 
Depending on how much time you have a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. Only about an hour drive from Boulder.

I also recommend a trip up flagstaff mountain for sight seeing.

The pearl street mall in the middle of town is the popular spot the night before the game. The CU band and boosters have a rally/parade down the mall.

Where are you staying and how long are you going to be in town?
 
Welcome

Not sure if Matt Thompson
 
We'll definitely check out Pearl Street for the Parade.

We're in Colorado from Wednesday to Tuesday. In Boulder Friday (Staying at Alps Inn) and Saturday. We're doing RM National Park, a Rockies games, Pikes Peak and Colorado Springs. But I'm looking for essentials for a CU fan around game day and the night before.

Thanks for the help
 
If you really suck up, you might get invited to a tail gate party here. Depending on the worldliness of your wife, she may prefer to pass. C. Springs and Pikes Peak is ok. A drive up I-70 is a worthy trip. Vail is only about 2 hours, Breck and Keystone are on the way. You can drive over Loveland Pass which is pretty cool. From I-70 you can hop over to the Winter Park area. There is also a buffalo herd just a few miles up I-70, right next to the highway for more photo ops. Multiple beet stops on the way too. Enjoy your trip!
 
Last year my wife and I made the trip to see the UGA game. We stayed at a B&B in Estes Park, Friday night. The morning before the game, we did a before dawn drive to the top of Trail Ridge Road and watched the sun come up. What a great vista. We were the only ones on the mountain... it was so early, there was nobody there to take the park entry fee. If you can make that drive before dawn, it is well worth the early wake up.
