Things To Do
Joyride Brewing Company
Our favorite brewery, with a rooftop deck overlooking Sloan's Lake.
Chautauqua Park
Beautiful park and trail system in Boulder. Easy access, easy hiking.
Improper City
Great option for grabbing a drink while you knock out a few emails. Large indoor and outdoor space that gets lively after happy hour.
Confluence Park
Close to Union Station and serving as the backyard of a flagship REI, this park is the intersection of several biking, running, and kayaking trails.
Williams & Graham
Just a normal, unremarkable bookstore. But you need a reservation.
Denver Botanic Gardens
Tickets are $15 https://www.botanicgardens.org/york-street
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
The best music venue in the world also has hiking, yoga classes, and amazing views.
Hiking
There are hundreds of beautiful hikes near Denver. Dream Lake, St. Mary's Glacier, and Arch Rocks are good options - short and sweet. If you're planning to hike, remember that the elevation here will increase the difficulty of the hike. Bring sun protection, water, and a rain jacket - the weather is unpredictable.
Coors Brewery Tour
As cold as the Rockies
Zuni Street Brewing Company
Local brewery with a lively patio and lots of good food nearby.
