There are events taking place Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for this festival! Check out the website for more information.
Historic gold mine tours and gold panning — fun and educational for all ages
Colorado’s high-altitude distillery with tastings and creative cocktails.
Shopping, galleries, coffee, and eateries in a scenic mountain town.
Lakefront strolls, sailboats, and picnic spots with mountain views.
A year-round outdoor recreation park with hiking and biking trails, a free bike park, a skate park, disc golf, and open space for picnics and play. It’s a fun place to explore, play games, or relax with mountain views — and there’s a cozy day lodge to hang out in too.
Step back into Colorado’s mining era on this historic narrow-gauge steam train ride through mountain canyons and up trestles built in the 1800s. The ride lasts about 55–75 minutes, and during peak season you can add a mine tour or try your hand at gold panning — a fun and interactive experience for all ages.
If you’re looking to explore the city before or after our mountain celebrations, Denver has plenty to offer: Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre for iconic views and short hikes, Union Station for coffee and cocktails, the Denver Botanic Gardens for peaceful pathways and seasonal blooms, the Denver Art Museum for world-class exhibits, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science for hands-on learning, the Denver Zoo for animal encounters, and the Downtown Aquarium to see marine life and enjoy an immersive indoor experience. It’s an easy day trip with a mix of nature, culture, and food — something for everyone.
