Things To Do
Pearl Street Mall
If you are looking to visit Boulder, Colorado, check out Pearl Street Mall for shopping, scenic views, and local beer/food options.
Chautauqua Park
This historic landmark park is the gateway to Boulder’s most magnificent slab of open space adjoining the iconic Flatirons. If you have some time during your visit and want to hike this is the perfect place. With trails for all levels of hikers this beautiful hike will be in full bloom around October.
Boulder Falls
A short, stair-filled, 100-yard hike will lead you to this gem-like waterfall that rushes down the rock wall at a height of about 70 feet. While there is no swimming in Boulder Falls, and no climbing on the surrounding rocks, you'll be able to feel the cool mist rising off the soothing falls, get lost in the sound of the rushing water, take in the scent of the surrounding pine trees and maybe even spot some wildlife.
Historic Downtown Louisville
Minutes away from the wedding venue, Downtown Louisville is a beautiful, quiet area filled with cute shops, cafes, and restaurants. When the hustle and bustle of Denver is too much escape to Downtown Louisville for a few hours.
Garden of the Gods
An hour's drive from Denver, Garden of the Gods is a beautiful park with easy trails to walk and enjoy one of Colorado's most stunning landscapes. To avoid crowds plan to go on a weekday or early mornings on the weekend. Parking is free, however, it fills up quickly.
Manitou Springs
A fun, picturesque little mountain town with plenty of window shopping, good eats, penny arcades and home to the Pike's Peak trailhead and Manitou incline (if you're feeling ambitious!). We love this little town and it's so close to Colorado Springs you can visit both places if you would like.
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
A naturally formed, world-famous outdoor venue just fifteen miles west of Denver. Red Rocks is recognized for its star-studded concert roster, natural acoustics and ambience, as well as its awe-inspiring hiking and biking trails. It's open to visitors during the day and definitely something to check out if you've never been!
Tu's Kitchen
Arriving early or staying a few days? Craving some Vietnamese food (pho, spring rolls, rice platters)? Try one our favorite Vietnamese restaurants. 15 minute drive from any of the recommended hotels.
Hot Pot Spot
Feeling something hot and warm during the fall month of October? Check out the Hot Pot Spot! One of the best hot pot places around. Choose your broth, meats, veggies, seafood, and cook them in your own personal pot. A unique experience and very tasty!
