Things To Do
Golden
Downtown Golden is a classic Colorado mountain town with a relaxed, welcoming feel. Stroll along Washington Avenue and Clear Creek, pop into local shops, or grab a bite to eat. It’s the perfect place to spend a slow afternoon and take in the charm of the area—and don’t worry, there’s a rock shop in Golden (Allie approved).
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
One of Colorado’s most iconic spots, Red Rocks is just as impressive in person. Wander the trails, take in the famous amphitheatre, or simply enjoy the views. Whether you’re up for a quick walk or just want to soak it all in, it’s a must-see while you’re here.
Lookout Mountain
A quick drive with a big payoff, Lookout Mountain offers sweeping views of the foothills and Denver skyline. Head up for a scenic drive, catch a sunset, or just enjoy a moment above it all.
Holidaily Brewing Company
A local favorite—and Marcus’s favorite brewery—Holidaily Brewing Company is a dedicated gluten-free brewery with a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re gluten-free or not, it’s a great place to relax, grab a drink, and enjoy some time with friends.
Denver
(About a 20–25 minute drive from the recommended hotels) If you’re planning to spend some time in the city, Denver has plenty to explore. Head downtown for shopping and restaurants along 16th Street, check out Larimer Square for a more charming and historic feel, or explore the RiNo Art District for murals, breweries, and a more lively atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a casual afternoon or a night out, there’s something for everyone.
Butterfly Pavilion
A fun and easy outing close to the hotels, the Butterfly Pavilion is home to thousands of butterflies and interactive exhibits. It’s a unique experience—and a special place for us, as we celebrated our first year dating here.
