The Colorado Chautauqua is a fascinating place. It’s a strange combination of cottagers, renters for a few days, Boulder residents visiting the dining hall or attending concerts or just having a picnic, and people who’ve come to hike the surrounding area for a few hours.
I’m learning quite a bit from the archives (both at the chautauqua and in the town historical library) and from people I meet, especially about how these groups with differing purposes have all influenced how Chautauqua has developed and is used today.
Today, though, I explored the mountains and rock formations nearby (mostly in the rain, sometimes in the hail!). It’s amazing to walk out the door and be on a trail in less than a minute.
