Nederland, Colorado
Population: 1,099
Located in Boulder County
The history of our area was built upon mining, primarily gold, silver, and tungsten. Later the area became a destination for those seeking outdoor recreation, the quiet beauty of the mountains, and a slower way of community life. In addition to towns that have long since been deserted or abandoned, there are three National Historic Districts close by: Eldora, Ward, and Central City.
Summers in Nederland are popular for tourists. A good first stop, and a source for maps and information on area recreational opportunities, is the Nederland Visitors Center operated by the Nederland Area Chamber of Commerce and located in the center of downtown.
In the fall of the year thousands of visitors flock to the area to view the spectacular vistas of golden aspens that blanket the nearby hillsides. Fall is also an excellent time for hiking and biking with days that are usually dry and warm.
Winter visitors come to cross-country ski or snowshoe in the back country, or to ski and snowboard at Eldora Mountain Resort just five miles from town. Five hotels and motels and over a dozen restaurants, cafes, and coffee houses provide a variety of cuisine and dining options. Live entertainment is often available at one or more of these establishments. Courtesy of Nederland Chamber of Commerce
