Great Book About Boulder And Its Environs

THE INSIDERS' GUIDE TO BOULDER AND ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, 9TH EDITION is a great book about the city of Boulder, its suburbs, and Rocky Mountain National Park. The "Relocation" section shows both the city of Boulder and its suburbs to be both wealthier and more socially and politically liberal than Denver and its environs, and can steer you to areas where, if you blast music by singers who don't have perfect skin, you won't get busted, a problem which is common in some of Denver's suburbs. It also shows that Boulder and its environs are willing to vote for a female political candidate with problem skin, which people in the suburbs of Denver generally don't do, unless the candidate is pro-gun. Overall, this book shows Boulder to be to the left of Denver, especially in its tolerance of different cultures, so the "Dining" and "Nightlife" sections are also incredible, as is the section on Rocky Mountain National Park, which warns you that speech patterns such as perseveration and repetitive questions will likely draw wolves and wildcats towards you, as well as describing the natural beauty of the park. Overall, this book is a comprehensive guide to Boulder, its suburbs, and Rocky Mountain National Park.
