Best of Boulder 2014 for Margarita. These are VERY strong margaritas. If you're visiting from sea level, don't have too many of these! The food here is mediocre.

A beautiful historic building, go inside and take a look around, then maybe have a drink in the basement bar; it was the first place in Boulder to get a liquor license after prohibition lifted.

Great three mile loop hike very close to town. It is really steep (1300 feet of elevation gain) but you get a great view. Unless you're feeling super adventurous, don't do this one in the winter.
