Nods
My boyfriend and I live in Colorado and we've been here for many years but we haven't done anything yet! We were hoping have to have a little vacation getaway in the state and we were wondering if you had any suggestions?
Probably something fun, somewhat romantic, and . . . vacation-y?
Thanks!
Answer
Well, first of all it depends on where in the state you are living. If its not where you're based, the front range has a lot to do. Also any mountain towns along I-70 are good, Glenwood Springs is easily accessible and has the hot springs and caves.
Things to do along the front range:
Denver:
-16th Street Mall
-Hammonds Candy factory tour
-Tour state capital
-Tour Brown Palace
-Tour Denver Mint (free, but get reservations early)
-Tour Invesco Field
-Tour Pepsi Center
-Tour Coors Field
-Molly Brown house
-Botanic gardens
-Denver Zoo
-Denver Museum of Nature and Science
-Ocean Journey
-Jump street (indoor trampoline park)
-Elitch Gardens amusement park
-Lakeside amusement park
-Water World
Boulder:
-Pearl Street Mall
-Celestial Seasonings tour
-Banjo Billy bus tour
-NCAR tour (national center for atmospheric research)
-Lots of scenic drives and hikes: Chautauqua park, Flagstaff mountain, etc.
-Butterfly Pavilion
Estes Park:
-Tour the Stanley Hotel (haunted, Stephen Kings inspiration for The Shining)
-American Wilderness Tours
-Elkhorn Ave shopping
-scenic hikes and drives: elk at Moraine Park, Bear Lake hikes, Trail Ridge road, etc.
Golden:
-Coors Brewery tour
-Lookout Mountain (Buffalo Bills grave and bison herd)
-Colorado Mills Mall
-Red Rocks Amphitheater (concert or movie)
-Dinosaur Ridge
-Town of Morrison
-Railroad Museum
CO Springs:
-Flying W Ranch rodeo, dinner, shows
-Seven Falls
-Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
-Garden of the Gods
-Colorado Gators
-Tour Air Force Academy
-US Olympic Complex
-Royal Gorge rail road, bridge, and park
-Pikes Peak road or cog railway
-Paint Mines park

-Cave of the Winds
-Manitou cliff dwellings
-Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine
-Florrisant Fossil Beds National Monument
