History

Established in 2008.

Boulder Walking Tours was founded by Lori Hunter, an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Colorado Boulder. Hunter loves Boulder, and loves walking tours, and crafted these offerings to celebrate community. She has won a «Square Nail» award from the Boulder Heritage Roundtable in honor of her contributions to local history outreach and education.

Hunter is joined by several expert walking tour guides — all of whom are long-​time Boulder residents with a passion for sharing the community.

Come join the fun!
