Colorado Obesity Rates Lowest In US
In a recent Wall Street Journal article, I learned that Colorado has the lowest obesity rates among adults of any of the nation’s 50 states. From other research, I’ve understood that Boulder county has some of the most fit and healthy citizens in the state.
This may not come as such a shock to many of you, if you already live here. On any given day, you’ll see more than the average number of folks out for a run, or a cycling adventure around the area. Whether it’s mountain biking, road cycling or some other combo, the people here really do like spending time outdoors. (I hope we’re all putting on lots of sunscreen!)
With so many days of beautiful weather, and lots of sunshine, it’s only natural to want to take advantage of the local outdoor opportunities available here.
Many people I know have moved here from other areas of the country simply for the quality of life opportunities available in the Boulder area.

Boulder Hike Video McClintock Trail
The McClintock Trail begins at the picnic area, just a bit south of the Chautauqua Auditorium.
The trail takes you into a lush stream-side forest, then gently climbs along the trees and eventually across the fire road (Enchanted Mesa trail) at a stone bridge. The trail continues to climb along the edge of a shrub-filled gully until it intersects with the Mesa Trail.
The McClintock and Enchanted Mesa trails start immediately on the south side of the Chautauqua Auditorium, near Chautauqua Park (Grant and Baseline Streets, Boulder). The nearby Ranger Cottage is staffed according to the following schedule:
Summer 2010
9 am – 4 pm Weekdays
8 am – 6 pm Weekends
Here are some other nearby trails and related information from the City of Boulder website:
Louisville Real Estate Market Update July 2010
Louisville is still a top-rated community. Single family homes are not selling as quickly in the community, but market prices are hanging in there, as compared to some other parts of Boulder County. Money magazine didn’t include Louisville as one of their top picks this year, but the criteria changed.
Another way to get the inside track of this community, or other areas and businesses is to take a look at my neighborhood profiles, and Boulder business profiles, here on my site.
They’re short videos that give you a personal inside view on what our area is all about.
I’m still adamant that you need to get out and experience the neighborhood where you are considering to move into.
Go drive around at different times a day, explore the neighborhoods, … then maybe it’s time to look at houses, and study the data.
