Spend an afternoon wandering Pearl Street Mall — great shopping, street performers, coffee shops, and plenty of spots for drinks or dinner. Hayden's favorite place to stop, Loop, has all of your thrifted Patagonia that you need to complete your granola Denver fit.
Our first hike after moving to Denver. If you want iconic views without committing to a full mountain day, Chautauqua Park offers stunning Flatiron scenery and trails for all levels

Located in nearby Golden, the Coors Brewery offers guided tours of one of the largest breweries in the world. Guests can learn about the brewing process, explore the historic facility, and enjoy samples throughout the tour (4 beers!). Tours are 21+ only and require advance registration—typically about one month in advance—and they book up quickly, so we recommend planning early.
A laid-back mountain town just north of Boulder known for its scenic rivers, local shops, breweries, and strong music culture. Lyons is also where our wedding venue is located and is about 20 minutes from Boulder, making it an easy and scenic drive.
A quirky mountain town about 30 minutes from Boulder with coffee shops, local restaurants, thrift stores, and mountain-town charm. Great for cooler temperatures, scenic views, and a low-key adventure between wedding events.
One of our favorite farmers markets to go to!! This one is held Sunday mornings, and is held a bit more in central Denver. It’s held from 9a-1p, so a great morning activity before the wedding! If you go, make sure to stop at Tart & Soul, our favorite vendor who sells homemade pop tarts!!
