Visiting Boulder in the Fall...maybe

[PasadenaTrudy]

I've never been to Boulder or Co. I usually visit Santa Fe, NM in the Fall, but I think I'd like to try something different this year. Trying to decide what month to come, Sept or Oct. I'd love some chilly weather and Fall color. I'm a Los Angeles native who hates the heat and loves the seasons! Last year, I was in Santa Fe in Nov. and the Aspens were lovely. It rained quite a bit so I didn't get to sit outside much. I'm choosing Boulder because I love nature and smaller cities. I'm very low key, just content with sitting outside with a view, or watching people pass by. I like to walk, not hike or anything more intense. I think Denver would be too much for me. I have enough urban time where I live now I''ll stay at a B&B since it's my first visit.

So, Sept. or Oct? That is the question for one who wants to escape the SoCal heat...

Thank you!
