Things To Do

If you're looking for extra fun things to do or extending this trip into a mini vacation, here are some recommended activities to do in Denver/Golden. We have personally been to most of these places and have enjoyed ourselves. November weather can be very mild in Denver but still make sure to bring jackets and hats just in case we get a cold spell. We also ask that if you are not used to the elevation that you take frequent breaks during activities and drink lots and lots of water.
Evergreen Lake

Evergreen Lake

Evergreen, CO 80439

Evergreen Lake is a beautiful spot in the mountains close to Golden and the wedding venue. A good spot to take pictures and there are some small businesses nearby or you can walk around the lake.
