Just a quick hint for your visit. The sun is very strong here and because of the breezes off the mountains it feels cooler than it really is often. Coming in from a lower altitude and an area with more humidity many people dehydrate easily and get headaches or otherwise feel bad. They blame it on the altitude but it is often due to lack of moisture in your body. Carry a water bottle and drink from it even if you don't feel thirsty. You will notice that a lot of people around town are doing the same.
Also be sure to wear a hat (preferably one that has more than a visor in front) and use sunscreen.
Hope you have a great visit and decide that this is a place you want to come back to often for another 4-5 years.:nod:

Pasta Jay's it is! I just checked out the menu and it's perfect. Feeding a 6'7, 320 lineman take s a few carbs and lots of protein! Thanks for the great suggestion! (We'll need to pick up the CU hat while we're there!)
We're coming in late Thursday and will visiting the campus all day Friday. My son won't be attending the camp, he's a lineman and the CU Lineman camp was today and we were already commited to the camp at the University of Washington otherwise we would have taken our visit this weekend. Sounds like Pasta Jay's is the place to go, others made that recommendation as well, so it sounds like a winner! Next trip we'll make it to Tom's Tavern, sounds great! We always try to find the local "Pubs" on these trips as we fiqure at some point we'll be repeat customers once a commitment is made. Nothing like a good pub burger!
Thank you for the information and we'll seek Clay out while we're there Friday. We have a couple other players traveling with us that will be attending the camp so I'll ask Coach Marshall to introduce us all!
Also, if you make it down to the west end of pearl street, a great pub is the West End Tavern. Really good pub food and maybe the best rooftop deck in Boulder with views of the front range mountains as well as downtown. I think it was featured on that Man vs Food show.
West End is a favorite from back in the day, but it was my understanding that new developments now block the front range views, no?
Jays has fed many a 6'7 320 lineman. Mmmmmm...Jays chicken pargm, stuffed shells, pesto pizza
Sounds like a dirty old man's paradiseI can look at you from my office window. Creepy.
The rooftop at West End is definitely not what it once was, not only can you not really see much of the mountains, I can look at you from my office window. Creepy. Surprisingly, the Lazy Dog probably has the best views for a rooftop, though the Rio's roof is pretty nice if you don't mind eating slop.

We leave this Thursday and will be on campus all day Friday, the 17th. We fly out the next day to LA to visit UCLA for a Saturday visit so I'll let you know on Sunday! I know the air will be cleaner in Boulder than LA, that's a fact!
It may be one of the best views of a city, but I love the view on 70 when you pop up over the hill before Evergreen (or maybe it is after) and the bridge frames the mountains---is a very cool picture.One of the best views in all of the US. Still gives me goosebumps when I drive over that hill.
Should be great weather this weekend and enjoy the trip! Boulder is a fantastic town!
Wyo, I judge all other pargm by Jay's. how do you think I got to 320 there? I fell of the tangerine truck in 1988 weighing in at a trim 270.
