It is super safe in Boulder! I run at night all the time and have never felt unsafe. It’s not the most well lit because they are very energy conscious, but overall it’s the place ive felt safest ever living.

Boulder is mostly safe on the surface. There are some issues with people harassing others in places like the Boulder Creek multi-use paths and on Pearl Street. In recent years, there have been seemingly more issues with public drug use and homelessness. While most of the homeless folks are not problematic at all, I have been chased down a very public area by a man. My roommate was followed by a naked man in our neighborhood near downtown Boulder. I don't recommend women to travel the bike paths...

Boulder is a very safe place to explore and recreate as a woman. I do a lot of outdoor things solo and have never felt unsafe. I practice situational awareness everywhere I am and always trust my instincts.
