About 3hrs from Denver but it is great for a long weekend stay. Exceptional skiing/snowboarding and a lot of really good restaurants in town. Strawberry hot springs is near by for a full or half day trip. Great option if you want to escape the touris...
Steamboat Ski Resort
Hardly needs an introduction but had to include it. Really fun mountain for either beginner or experienced skiers/snowboarders. So many different trails to choose from at all levels.
Breckenridge Ski Resort

Vail Ski Resort
Really great option for a short ski/snowboard trip from Denver. It's definitely small but has some good runs - close and cheap! 😊
Eldora Mountain: Colorado Ski Resort
If you love outdoor gear, you must go get lost in REI headquarters in Denver.

Williams & Graham
Hiking/Must See
Stunning & massive red rock park, great for kids and families or new hikers as most of the trails are paved. Certain areas you can climb around on the rocks. Rock climbing is available for serious climbers.
Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center
Such a beautiful, iconic spot! The only thing I will say is - be prepared for the parking lot to be full & having to potentially try again. Unless you get there right before it opens, it can be a roll of the dice.
Hanging Lake
One of the most incredible venues I’ve ever been to. Seeing any concert/show here is pure magic!!
Outside of that, there is a museum to visit during the day and plenty of short hikes through the red rocks surrounding the venue!
This visit is for e...
