Nederland sits in a valley created by a glacier thousands of years ago.
In the 1960's the "hippies" brought a vibrant music scene and a new lifestyle to the sleepy valley. By the 1990's, Nederland's population had grown quite a bit. At this time, Barker Meadow was developed into the town's only shopping center and plans were underway to spruce up downtown to attract more tourist and encourage local residents to spend their dollars in town, instead of "down the hill" in Boulder.
At the turn of the 21st century, the town's population growth began leveling out. One thing is certain: Nederland is a town like no other, and always will be. It's truly a hippie mecca that's something to see including the "frozen dead guy", the carousel of happiness, funky bars, and the best pizza in CO at Crosscut.

Avoid sitting in the traffic on i70 for hours and take the bus 45 minutes to Nederland to ski this smaller, local mountain. It has great terrain, jump parks, and is only small compared to CO's enormous resorts.
