How hippies rode an asteroid into Boulder
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Before the days when Boulder, Nederland and Ward were considered a safe haven for beat poets, rockstars and acid heads, there wasn’t a whole lot of love for weird. Then the 1960s happened, and a near-earth asteroid drove a swath of paranoid hippies to Boulder and its mountain towns.
Today, Maryann Rosen takes us on a long strange trip through the migration of hippies to the area, and how the art, drugs and attitudes they brought with them changed this place for good.
