This live camera looks toward Boulder from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the view that gives the city its popular outdoor character. Watch it to judge sky, cloud and visibility before planning a hike or a ride into town.

A university town at the mountain edge

Boulder sits on the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains in north-central Colorado, at about 1,650 metres above sea level. It is best known as the home of the University of Colorado and for its strong hiking, climbing and cycling culture. The city is framed by sandstone rock formations and open mountain parks, and its walkable downtown mall is a short distance from the trailheads.

What the view shows and when to watch

Because the camera is aimed at the foothills and the mountains behind the city, it is most useful for reading the weather. Clear mornings often bring the clearest air, while afternoon clouds can build quickly over the peaks in summer and spring. Snow on the higher ridges is more visible in the cooler months. Depending on the view, you may see changing light across the rock faces at sunrise and sunset.

Climate and getting around

Boulder has a semi-arid climate with abundant sunshine, dry air and large temperature swings between day and night. Late spring, summer and early autumn are the most popular seasons for visitors, though afternoon thunderstorms are common in July and August. Nearby cameras in Lafayette, Arvada, Nederland and Central City show other parts of the Front Range and mountain corridor.
