The
Flat Iron Rocks of Boulder,
Colorado mark the entrance to the Rocky
Mountains and it a landmark for this quaint and bustling
college town. Overwhelmingly filled with shops, restaurants,
music, and nightlife, there's almost too much to do
and see. |

Stretching
several blocks, the Pearl
Street is consider downtown Boulder and
is by far the most highly trafficked areas of this town
and my personal favorite for the wheelchair traveler.
Beautiful, native Colorado trees canopy the flat, paved
walkways and brightly colored flowerbeds meander throughout.
Aligned with numerous restaurants, bars, cafés,
boutiques unique to Boulder, and familiar shops like
Urban Outfitters, and Volcom, Pearl Street is a siren
for the tourist looking to spend some money. Feel free
to adventure a couple blocks off this main strip for
there are many more shopping and dining treasures to
be explored.

The
Kitchen
1039 Pearl St
Boulder, CO 80302
303.544.5973
|
Using
only local and organically grown ingredients, The
Kitchen is a healthy and savory location
to dine for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The Kitchen
has two floors with a wheelchair accessible elevator,
which caught me by surprise. Accessible restrooms
are available on both floors.

The
Courtyard
by Marriott in Boulder Colorado offers above average
wheelchair accommodations. For instance, a large bathroom
with a roll-in shower bench equipped with an accessible
soap dish (left photo) and hand-held shower nozzle.
The room also has a lowered closet bar to hang one's
clothes. My two complaints are if traveling alone then
you'll have call the front desk becuase a wheelchair
user will not be able to initally reach the shower nozzel
and if you're a girl the hair-dryer is hung out of reach
as ciricled in the left photo. |
