The Gunbarrel Community CO is so close to Boulder that it has adopted the fitness life. People who live here love to enjoy the warm days outdoors, playing with their friends and family. The Boulder life might get a little crowded at some times, and that’s where Gunbarrel is like Longmont. The whole city is surrounded by and immersed in open space. This gives the perfect opportunity to ride a bike, take a walk, and enjoy the wonderful Colorado fresh air. Almost anywhere you walk, you can see the mountains. In the morning the sun rises and shines through the mountains and the open space. You can take a path or trail that will lead you to either downtown Boulder or downtown Longmont. On a nice morning you can go out with the guys to play a game of golf at the golf course.
