John Breaux was a local unemployed man, beloved by his community. He rode his bike everywhere, cleaned up the roads when he could, and was friendly to everyone he met, but for years he was a staple of Boulder County and his death had a major impact on the community. Shortly after he died, Louisville residents raised the money and got permission to erect a small memorial for John Breaux in downtown Louisville, next to the public library in the old town where everyone can see it easily. A memorial to a man who loved Boulder and its residents, the statue is a touching testament to the impact one person can have on many others.

Formed out of lava flow around 60 million years ago, a day in the North Table Mountains is a great way to spend some quality time with nature. More than 15 miles (24.14 kilometers) of trails spread all over this region open up to some enchanting panoramic views of the valley. The entire region is covered with beautiful wildflowers in spring and early summers adding a charming effect to this place. Apart from hiking, rock climbing is another popular activity carried on the Golden Cliffs of these mountains.
