VITAL INFORMATION...

Where: from Denver airport; you can get to Boulder from Stapleton Airport either by limousine, costing $7.50, leaves every hour until about midnight with information obtainable from the row of desks where car rentals are available, or by public bus, which leaves every half hour most of the time, cost is $1.75, and takes about 35 minutes longer than the limo. Get off at Broadway & Euclid in Boulder for either form of transportation, then walk 1/2 block due east on Euclid and you will run right into the Imig Music Building. Registration will be there.

The Imig Music Building: The primary north-south arterial of Boulder is "Broadway", the primary east-west arterial is Baseline. To get to the music building, where all events including registration will take place, go north on Broadway from Baseline to 18th Street, about 1/2 mile. Turn right, go one block, the Imig Music Building will be directly on your left. There are public parking lots directly across the street from the Music Building. As with most campuses, parking is a major problem, but there will be a limited number of parking spaces/stickers available.

When: You may begin checking into dormitories after 12:00 noon Sunday, August 11th. Registration will be in the Imig Music Building, the same place all events will be held. Registration hours will be Sunday, 12: 00 p. in. - 7: 00 p. m., Monday 8: 00 a. in. - 5: 00 p. in., and Tuesday and Wednesday in the morning only.

The first event of the conference is 8:00 p.m. Sunday evening, the final event will conclude about 10:00 p.m. Wednesday night, August 14th.

Other Accommodations: August 17th is graduation day on the CU campus, so it is possible that motels and hotels will be busy that week. I would urge you to make your reservations early if you do not want University provided dormitory accommodations. Major motels include the Ramada, Hilton Harvest House, Holiday Inn, and many others.


SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF BOULDER & COLORADO, AUGUST, 1985

BOULDER...

Mountain Parks: Within one mile of the campus are 33 hiking trails and climbs, from easy to difficult technical climbs.

Famous Downtown Mall: The "Boulder Mall" attracts the second largest group of street entertainers in the country, offering a constantly changing, free evening of entertainment. One-half mile.


Shakespeare Festival: World-class productions on the University campus.

Boulder Reservoir: A brief respite from the mountains, it offers swimming, and all water sports. Four miles.

Rocky Mountain National Park: needs no description. One of the world's most beautiful sites. One-plus hour drive.

Estes Park: Located at the foot of the Rocky Mountain National Park, this lovely town attracts thousands of tourists.


Fishing, Hiking, Camping, all Mountain Sports: Anywhere you look!

DENVER AREA: (30 minute drive from Boulder)

If you miss the city life and need to get away from 14,000 foot mountains, Denver is close by. A major energy center of the West, it offers what you would expect to find in a city - museums, the Denver Mint, the capital, Old West history, shows, clubs, and concerts.

Red Rock: A spectacular outdoor amphitheatre, there are concerts almost every evening, usually in the pop vein.

Lake Dillon area: This incredibly beautiful area, known to many from their ski trips, now offers year-round recreation on beautiful Lake Dillon. You are surrounded by 14,000 foot mountains as you sail on your rented boat sipping a Coors beer! Two-hour drive.

Aspen: The Music Festival, playing throughout the month of August, is world class! And so is the setting.

COLORADO SPRINGS AREA (2 hour drive south)

This will keep you busy for a few days. First there is Pikes Peak, which you can drive up or take a tram or bus. Then there is Garden of the Gods, the Air Force Academy, and Cheyenne Mountain, one of' this country's most important defense centers. For accommodations, how about the world famous Broadmoor Hotel?

Seven Falls & The Royal Gorge: South is the Gorge, the world's deepest gorge over which a bridge has been built.


VAIL AREA: (about 2 1/2 hours west)

Vail is a bit expensive and overpriced but it is beautiful. On the opposite side of the coin is Glenwood Springs, where you can either swim in the natural hot springs pool in view from the Interstate, or go north out of town on virtually any road and ask for the "natural" hot springs, where it won't cost you a cent.


SOUTHWEST PART OF THE STATE: (4-7 hour drive)

Great Sand Dunes National Monument: Located near Alamosa, this is a fabulous place that is soooo different from the rest of Colorado. Mountains and mountains of sand!

Durango and North: So you visited the Rocky Mountain National Park and thought you saw mountains? Those who know Colorado know that the only "true" mountain wilderness is in this area, which you can visit while touring the mountain towns of Silverton (ride the famous narrow gauge railroad), Telluride (visit the excellent jazz festival), and the Swiss-style town of Ouray.

Mesa Verde National Park: Dramatic history of the Pueblo Indians. As long as you are here, might as well keep going to The Four Corners, Hovenweep National Monument, and the Grand Canyon.

* * * * Want some real excitement during your Colorado stay? Arrangements are being made to offer discounts for IDRS people on a one-day whitewater raft trip down the Colorado. Cost should be in the neighborhood of $40-$45 per person, and is a one-day trip safe for almost all ages. More details at registration.


See you in Colorado!
