Boulder is a community of about 100,000 people including a student population at the University of Colorado of about 25,000. It located 25 miles northwest of Denver on US 36. Boulder is nestled in a valley at the foot of the Rocky Mountains and is known for its scenic beauty and recreational opportunities. The climate is dry and mild, with more than 300 days of sunshine each year; occasional winter snowstorms benefit the world-class ski resorts just a short distance away.

Boulder is the home of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and several research laboratories of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. With the University, NCAR, and NOAA, Boulder is the leading center in the world for research in the atmospheric sciences.
