Boulder

Why It's Good:

Best known for the University of Boulder, hiking trails and nearby ski resorts, this quaint mountain town is also gaining quite a reputation for its emerging eco-chic lifestyle. Nowhere is this more apparent than ultra-cool St. Julien Hotel, situated right in the center of town, where executive chef Jason Rogers prepares mouthwatering pairing menus with organic, biodynamic wines and zero-carbon-footprint dishes. For dessert, be sure to try the dark chocolate, anti-aging oxidant facial at the on-site spa.

Why It's Green:

Newlyweds can work with the hotel to plan a zero-carbon honeymoon, and can purchase carbon offsets via St. Julien's environmental consulting agency, UHG, to balance out the environmental impact of their trip.
