Several photographers in the Boulder area will be meeting on Saturday, May 3rd at 9:00 AM for a photowalk of Boulder, including the famous Pearl Street Mall. We will meet at the East end of Pearl Street Mall, corner of 15th and Pearl.

The route is about 2.15 miles long. Our path takes us through Pearl Street Mall, an outdoor, open-air mall with brick walkways, flower beds with Tulips, store fronts, sculptures and people (though not at 8am) and Boulder architecture.
