Things To Do
Hike South Table Mountain
Great during the day, great at night, best at sunset. Look out for rattlesnakes, bring a flashlight, pack some Coors, and take in the view.
Coors Brewery Tour
Take the long tour and learn about how Coors makes and packages their beer. At the end of the tour, you get free beer! Or just take the short tour and get straight to the free beer. No judgement.
Happy Hour at Table Mountain Inn Hotel, Grill & Cantina
Get the honcho margarita and the nachos. Tell them we sent you. Actually don’t. They don’t know us that well...
Go tubing down Clear Creek
Don’t drown.
Visit the Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave
At the top of Lookout Mountain. Guaranteed spectacular view on the drive up. Hope you’ve practiced your hairpin turns.
Drive up Lookout Mountain Road
This is the road that leads to the top of the mountain with the big M on it. It’s the same road we had to carry a 10 pound rock up while wearing our hard hats, repeatedly singing the school’s fight song, and getting drenched in water by various Mines’ clubs and organizations. Complete with a white wash fight on the M with your fellow freshman. Don’t worry, it’s not hazing, it’s tradition.
Visit the Colorado School of Mines Geology Museum
It’s right on campus and has cool rocks and things.
Red Rocks Amphitheatre
See a show, drive around, take a hike, ride a bike.
Take a tour of Boettcher Mansion
It makes a great background for engagement pictures.
