That is so exciting! I love to travel, especially with friends. I’m sure I have said it before, but I have not been anywhere towards that side of the US. I hope you have a ton of fun with your friend! I love to hike so I really hope you can find a ton of places up there. Have fun!
Traveling with friends makes the whole experience better. Boulder sounds like a really cool place to visit, and I am especially interested in the ways that they maintain their sustainability. Because my intended major deal with sustainability, I’ve heard a lot about it recently and think it’s an interesting subject. I would be interested in visiting based off of that and the cool hiking opportunities you mentioned.
