Default What to do in Denver?
Will be in Denver this weekend - I've never been there and really haven't ever heard of any touristy stuff to do. Anyone have any ideas? Will have a rental car but won't have all that much time for longer excursions/etc.

Thanks

If you've got the time, a trip up to Estes Park might be worth it.

My GF took me there when we visited. 16th Street Mall in general is a good place to go. Park somewhere and take the lightrail though.
Excellent, thanks... Love some beer, was looking at some of the brew-pubs online but this may be some one-stop shopping.

Looks like only an hour and a half drive, putting it on the list

I don't think the rod is open yet. It is only open a few months of the year.

Catch a Rockies game if they are in town. There is a great bunch of bars just outside the stadium.

Mount Evans is a great drive on the highest paved road in the US. But it won't open until May 27th.

Damn, you might be right. Definitely worth the time if it's open though.

Glad I decided to check back in on this thread - I'll have to check into it.

Thanks again everyone, weather isn't looking too great, but with good food and beer I can make any place fun

There is a lot of stuff to see without crossing over the pass.

Yes, and so did I......as well as the kids from Southpark. Ted got it. I think it's a gip joint now.lol

To the OP, Georgetown, an hour west of Denver on I70 is a nice, little historical place to visit.
