Things To Do
Denver Botanic Gardens
This is where we had our first date! We love walking around the gardens and seeing the seasonal blooms.
Breweries
Like most Coloradans – we love going to breweries. Either for trivia, or to grab a beer with friends. There are a ton of breweries in Colorado, but here are some of our favorites! Max Taps Centennial We love going to trivia on Wednesdays at 7 pm Dry Dock We had our second date here! Avery Brewing Co For those finding themselves up in Boulder during their visit, Avery is one of the best in CO Pindustry Adult arcade, sporting a variety of Denver Craft brews Our most frequent date location! Check their website calendar for availability as the location hosts many private parties.
Stranahan's Whiskey Distillery & Cocktail Bar
Even if you're not a big fan of whiskey, it’s still fascinating to see the distilling process of a Colorado whiskey brand (which would require an appointment for a group tour). And, be sure to grab a whiskey cocktail at their bar afterward.
Colorado Journey Miniature Golf
Another one of our first date spots! This putt-putt course has two different courses each with different Colorado landmarks.
Evergreen
A cute little mountain town with a relatively short commute from the Denver area. Come check out the gorgeous Evergreen Lake, which we have walked around, paddle boarded on, and even ice skated on!
Estes Park
Getting reservations for Rocky Mountain National Park (where Taylor proposed) requires some careful planning due to their reservation system. However, Estes Park, the charming town right outside the park, is also worth a visit! There are plenty of hikes around Estes, the iconic Stanley Hotel, and a lovely Main Street to explore.
Breckenridge
If you're looking for a great day trip, we love heading up to Breckenridge. There’s so much to do, including hiking, strolling through the town, and leaf-peeping to see the changing aspens. For a fun adventure, you can go troll hunting by visiting Isak Heartstone—a quick hike just off Main Street.
