Stay Safe at High Altitudes
Boulder is approximately 5400 feet above sea level. If you are not accustomed to high altitudes, you might need some time to acclimate. Drinking lots of water and getting plenty of rest helps. The sun is also much more intense at higher altitudes. Please make sure to bring sunscreen!
Clothing and Weather
- Daily high temperatures in June are generally between 81-86°F (27-30°C). The climate is dry, so temperatures quickly cool in the evening, with lows between 50-58°F (10-14°C).
- Brief, fast-moving thunderstorms in the afternoons (~3pm) are relatively common in the summer. For safety, it is best to plan hikes before or after this mid-afternoon (~2-4pm) period.
- Sunset in June is around 8:30pm, so the evening is a great time to hike and watch the sunset over the mountains.
Public Wi-Fi
In addition to the hotel Wi-Fi, downtown Boulder has a free public Wi-Fi network #Pearl, and the University of Boulder has a guest Wi-Fi network CU Guest in addition to the eduroam network.
Printing Posters
InkSpot, the on-campus printing store, is the closest option for printing posters (but is only open weekdays 8am-4pm). It is located inside the University Memorial Center (UMC) student center. The UMC is a very short walk from the conference venue. The FedEx on Baseline just south of campus is the next closest (walkable and accessible by frequent buses).
