Things To Do & Excursions
Roxborough State Park
A gorgeous alternative to Garden of the Gods - and right out our first house's back door!
Arrowhead Golf Course
Championship golf course nearby. Unique opportunity to play through beautiful red rocks!
Bear Mountain Disc Golf
Gorgeous disc golf course nearby. Play through the aspens!
Waterton Canyon Trailhead
The start of segment 1 of the Colorado Trail and a gorgeous walking/biking destination to use 1-2 hours of activity.
Outlets at Castle Rock
Scratch that shopping itch at some of the best outlets we've personally ever seen. Lots of great mountain activity options!
Denver Union Station
A great starting point for a downtown excursion or walk down the 16th Street Mall. Plus you can wave at Gregory's place of work!
Urban Putt
Our favorite mini-golf course! All holes are Colorado themed and very interactive. Full bar available if you so choose to partake.
River North Art District
The hippy-dippy part of downtown Denver full of breweries, street eats and other cool things to do. Check out 10barrel or Bierstadt!
Coors Brewery Tour
Unique opportunity to see a full tour of the largest brewery in the world located right next door in Golden. Recently reopened to the public - no golden ticket required!
The Flatirons
One of the first hikes Gregory, Martha, Riley and Ryissa did when the whole four were together in Colorado. Don't feel like hiking? Have a picninc in Chautauqua State park and just enjoy the vista!
Pearl Street Mall
A common stopping point on the way back from northern front range destinations for the family. Full of street performers, shopping and good eats. Even has a Yellow Deli option available for Chattanoogan's!
Rocky Mountain National Park
Goes without saying this is one of the most beautiful national parks in the Country during the most beautiful season of the year. Absolutely recommend making the time to see what the park has to offer - make your reservations soon!
Garden of the Gods
A "Must See" on the front range.
The Manitou Incline
Not for the faint of heart - gorgeous views of Pike's Peak and a true physical commitment. Tell us your summit times!
Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve
Unique experience to see HUGE sand dunes with the gorgeous Sangre de Cristo mountain range in the background.
Guanella Pass
A very popular destination for drive-by aspen viewing. Great opportunity to gander at the back sides of Mt. Evans, Bierstadt and the famous sawtooth that connects them!
Berthoud Pass
Site of our engagement :) Great stopping point for pictures on your way over the pass into the Fraser valley.
Grand Lake
One of Gregory's favorite mountain towns in the state. Recently narrowly avoided devastation from wildfires - so go and spend money if you're keen!
Maroon Bells
The most photographed place in the U.S. during the most beautiful season. Need we say more?
Twin Lakes
Another gorgeous spot to view the gold aspens. Would love to own a vacation home up here some day!
