Boulder Creek Path, Boulder, CO

There's so much to do and see along the six-mile long Boulder Creek Path that you may find yourself taking numerous "side trips" along the way. Boulderites recommend starting at the Boulder Public Library at 10th and Arapahoe streets and continuing toward such attractions as the Children's Fishing Pond, the Red Rocks/Settler's Park where you may be tempted to take off your skates and take a climb up the almost vertical red rocks, or the Whitewater Kayak Course where kayakers hit the rapids of the Boulder Creek in late spring and early summer.

The Boulder Creek Path connects to Boulder's superb network of paved paths, so once you are done with this one there are plenty more to do.  Plus, Boulder is one of the coolest cities in America so you will find plenty of post-skating fun.
