Hi Ian,

Thank you for the information.

I would like just to add that Boulder is located at the base of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 5,430 feet (1,655 m). It seems there are a lot of mountain trails there, - one can see it by GPS traces: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/39.9662/-105.3131&layers=G

So obviously it would be possible to combine the conference with consequent hiking in the magnificent Rocky Mountains. Nowadays one can see at Youtube a lot of videos on safety techniques in mountains, on selecting the right equipment, clothing, and footwear. If one is new to to hiking and trekking I would highly recommend to get acquainted with the basic information and to test the acquired equipment well beforehand on a smaller scale.

With best regards,
Oleksiy
