10. October is the most beautiful month here, followed by May, imo.

You are more likely to get snow in Oct than Sept, but the color will be better in Oct. The trails are great! Avoid Chautauqua - unless you walk or bus there - it's really popular but there's not a lot of parking. You can access the same network of trails from NCAR with tons of parking & you get to see where they filmed some of "Sleeper." Also the drive up there is lovely. There are lots of great patio bars for crisp Oct nights in Boulder. Also, you can get around the city pretty good with RTD & a bike. There are lots of ped/bike trails, like along Boulder Creek, that go under the streets, so you can walk/ride without interruption, for the most part. They also keep them plowed in the winter.

Boulder is such a beautiful city. I moved here, then moved away & then moved back & been here almost 30 years.
