Boulder Maps and Orientation
(Boulder, Colorado - CO, USA)
Situated at the very base of the famous Rocky Mountains, the city of Boulder lies in the state of Colorado, and within Boulder Count, when it has become the actual county seat. The city also stands close to the Great Plain and an area referred to as the Flatirons, which comprises vast areas of stone and rock formations, and can be found on the western outskirts.
Boulder is a good place to base yourself if you are planning to explore Colorado, since it is relatively close to
Denver and also to
Colorado Springs , both of which lies to the south and are connected by the US-36 highway.
