Downtown Denver is the BEST! We love taking the train in and spending time walking around, taking in the city, and getting some coffee or good food. You can spend some time checking out the stadiums. Also there is the beautiful Larimer Square or Milk Market, which are both great places for shopping, food, or just walking around.
This is a great place to see some incredible rock formations and take a quick, but breathtaking hike. No need to see a concert either, you can explore the amphitheater any day!
We love downtown Golden! It has a beautiful river walk and a great shopping and food scene! We highly recommend spending some time walking around!
Idaho Springs is a taste of the old school Colorado Gold Rush days! If you are looking for a good bite to eat, check out Colorados own mountains pie at Beaujo's Pizza. Also there are some great natural hot springs that are very relaxing!
