Offbeat Activities in Boulder
It's not your typical itinerary. For the quirky, cool and totally unclassifiable, check out {0}'s offbeat activities.
Fifteen miles west of Boulder is a small town called Nederland, a place 8236 feet above sea level and filled with small western town idiosyncrasies such as Frozen Dead Guy Days, a festival based around a cryogenically-frozen grandfather kept in a shack behind a Nederland resident's house, complete with coffin races and "Frozen Dead Guy" lookalike contests.
Kinetics is one of those bizarre small-town events that only people from that town think is normal, and even that's a stretch. Started in 1980, Kinetics is a race across land, mud, and water with teams using human-powered vehicles, but it's essentially an excuse for groups of people to dress in costume not on Halloween and to adopt personas that correspond to their costumes.
Tour the city of Boulder with Banjo Billy's Bus Tour as you relax in a couch, recliner, or sit on a saddle inside of this bus that looks like a hillbilly shack. Obviously, this is no ordinary tour, but what makes it even more unusual is that you will learn about Boulder's history through ghost tales and crime stories.
