descend to the green grassy environs of Central Park in August or
Carpenter Park
(cnr 30th St &
Arapahoe Ave)
in September for this fun series that includes a sweaty asana session and some
soulful live music. Discounted rate available online.

;
shop 2020 1750 29th St; adult/student & senior $17/12;
6:30am-8:45pm Mon, Tue & Thu, to 9pm Wed, to 6:45pm Fri, 9am-5:15pm Sat, to 7:15pm Sun; BOUND)
One
of the hippest, if most oddly located, studios in Boulder. But don't let the 29th St Mall
location throw you off. There's plenty of free parking, the place isn't corporate and the in-
struction is first rate.
YOGA
Pop Jet Fountain
FOUNTAIN
(cnr Pearl & 14th Sts; daylight hr summer; 205, 206)
Bursts of water spring from the ground,
sending kids squealing around in circles at this public fountain. It's a great place to bring
the kiddies when the temperatures rise, but be aware that the surface underfoot isn't soft.
Royal Arch Trail
(Chatauqua Park)
Challenging but not excruciating, this roughly two-hour, 3.6-mile, well-
signed trail leads you up along the Flatirons, through a vaguely red-rock canyon, then
through a keyhole and up to a wonderful natural rock arch where you'll perch on
boulders, gaze at the Boulder basin and, on clear days, glimpse the Denver skyline. Grab a
trail map at the park office before hiking.
HIKING
Wonderland Lake Trailhead
(
www.osmp.org
;
4201 N Broadway St; SKIP)
This easily accessed North Boulder trailhead links
to 2.4 miles of trails within the City of Boulder's terrific open space mountain parks pro-
gram. Fairly flat trails skirt a lovely artificial lake, surrounded by knee-high grasses and
tucked up against the foothills. Dogs must be leashed.
