Things To Do
Garden of the Gods
Around 1hr-1.5 hrs away. Stunning red rock formations and great for hiking or photos!
Castlewood Canyon State Park
Around 20 minutes away. Scenic hikes, waterfalls, and panoramic views. Great for nature lovers!
Golden
Around 1hr away. Our fan favorite (especially Mylee’s!), Golden is a mountain town with scenic hikes and trails, great bars, local shops, and the perfect mix of small-town and mountains.
Mount Evans Scenic Byway
Around 1hr-1.5hrs away. One of the highest paved roads for unforgettable views and the chance to see mountain goats or even snow—yes, in summer! It’s a true Rocky Mountain adventure for those who love a good scenic drive.
Parker
Just a short drive from Elizabeth, Parker offers cute downtown charm with local boutiques and cozy cafes, plus fun stops like the Sunday farmers market and Downhill Brewing!
Denver
We don’t visit Denver much ourselves, but if you love the city, this is your go-to spot—with spots like Union Station for food and people-watching, and the Denver Botanic Gardens for a relaxing stroll through beautiful landscapes.
