Where?
Meet your guide outside the downtown visitor’s kiosk, corner of 13th and Pearl Street in the heart of the Pearl Street Mall, in front of the historic Boulder County Courthouse. Your guide will be there 10 minutes early and will be holding a sign: Boulder Walking Tours. The kiosk is 3 blocks from the Farmer’s Market and meeting here ensures us the opportunity to provide background and answer questions before reaching the market itself.
There are several convenient parking garages where parking is FREE on Saturdays and Sundays. See Downtown Boulder’s parking guide.
