Things To Do

North Star Gatherings

Here is our venue! We are so in love with the venue as the back porch overlooks the mountain range, property is filled with Aspens which *hopefully* will be at peak fall colors.

Denver Botanical Gardens

One of our first dates took place here, the grounds are beautiful. Handicap accessible option, restaurants available.

Coors Brewery Tour

Colorado is a beer hub, as you're exploring you'll find a ton of breweries in Denver and mountain towns. Coors was created in Golden. Town of Golden is adorable with restaurants, shops, river walk and the factory. Please book tickets a few weeks / months ahead of time as they sell quickly. Handicap accessible

Garden of the Gods

Scenic area under Pikes Peak 14er. Restaurant on site, paved walkways to explore rock formations, jeep tours available too. Handicap accessible.

Eldorado Canyon State Park

If your looking to visit Boulder, would recommend hiking here.

Rocky Mountain National Park

It will be peak Aspen Season, highly recommend spending time hiking. Entry permits- Visitors must have an advance permit to enter the park during peak daytime hours. Timed Entry (good for most of the park) and Timed Entry Plus (grants access to the popular Bear Lake Road destinations). The park releases permits in batches a month or two ahead of time on recreation.gov, but a percentage become available the night before a desired start date. The scenic drive- Trail Ridge Road, the 48-mile high-alpine highway connecting the gateway towns of Estes Park on the east to Grand Lake. Sites and view points along the route. Hike Recommendations: Bear Lake RD Corridor, Wild Basin (Ouzel Falls), Trail Ridge Road trails (Ute Trail, Alpine Ridge), Lumpy Ridge (Gem Lake), Deer Mountain, Twin Sisters Peaks, Lawn Lake, and the West Side (Mount Ida, East Inlet).

Estes Park

Mountain town under RMNP. Stanley Hotel (The Shining) is located here: https://www.stanleyhotel.com/ Restaurants, Shops, Riverwalk, Hiking

Leadville Railroad

Leadville is the highest incorporated town in US; recommend the train ride for peak fall colors. Tons of restaurants and views in town.

Cheyenne

If you want to cross Wyoming of your list, Cheyanne would be my recommendation. Terry Bison Ranch to ride the train and see the animal's on site. Cheyenne Depot Museum, Wyoming State Museum, Cheyenne Botanic Gardens.
