If you love hiking, especially peak bagging, and are a person of faith, this is the group for you to join. Hiking for me is a form of worship to the Lord, and it's also a time to reflect on His awesome glory, reflected in His creation. The time spent peak bagging, hiking, backpacking or even simple nature walks, is all about exploring the Savior's nature, through nature. Fasting from the confusion of our world by getting into nature, allows us communication with Him as the Creator, and throug …

Boulder & the surrounding area is such a wonderful, beautiful & incredible place to live! There are so many social opportunities & a plethora of fun, crazy adventures to be had.

It has been rumored that there is a large lesbian population in Boulder, but the Boulder lesbian tends to be an oft-spoken of, yet rarely seen "Nesting Boulder Lesbian" - a rare bird indeed! Well, this group was formed to change that! Our g …
