Nederland, Colorado is a picturesque mountain town 15 miles west of Boulder in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. As the "gateway to the Indian Peaks", it provides some of the best outdoor recreation in Colorado. Eldora Ski Area is just minutes away, and both an Olympic-sized outdoor ice/tennis park and skateboard park are within walking distance. It's also home to a great mountain music scene. Come visit the shops and dine at the friendly cafes and restaurants or participate in Nedfest or Miner's Days. Come run in the Neder-Nederland or take a tour of the Mining Museum. You'll see that life is better up here!
