Nemom Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I had to make a last minute trip to Denver. I have a Drs appt tomorrow at 2:00pm. I need something to do until then. Anything outdoors that isn't to far from downtown? I walked around downtown this afternoon. Anything close to the mountains? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Go eat at Torchy's Tacos. It's a revolutionary street taco experience. https://torchystacos.com/in/denver/ That's not an outdoors activity, but I thought I'd toss that out there. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theelfqueen Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Just north of the city is the Rocky Mountain Arsenal ... it's really close and there is a lot of wildlife to see and some decent trails but you're not any closer to the mountains... but theres buffalo.. so, that's a plus. https://www.fws.gov/refuge/rocky_mountain_arsenal/ If you're willing to drive a little further, Red Rocks is a popular spot (the amphitheater) and gets you into some more woodsiness, Morrison is nice. Or Roxborough State Park on the south end of town (Littleton) is awesome and unique but to get back downtown by 2, you're pushing it.

6wildhorses Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Lookout Mountain, Lair o' the Bear Park, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre aren't too far from downtown. If you go to the ampitheatre, you should call first to make sure it's open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything good in Golden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theelfqueen Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Golden is fun, really old West feel downtown, School of Mines is neat... obviously the Coors factory is the big draw... and Lookout Mountain but depending on your morning, your timeline could be pretty tight. If you're going to drive that far, I'd go to Boulder. Much more unique offerings, good food options for dietary restrictions and the Flatirons are gorgeous.

Ailaena Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I’d skip Torchy’s for sure. It’s a chain and it’s meh, at best. Comida, tacos tequila and whiskey, Dos Santos, anywhere that isn’t a chain from Texas (sorry, mama). There’s City o’ City and Watercourse foods that do gf? Bluff lake, Barr lake, Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Denver botanic gardens, the zoo, City park, Cherry creek area for shopping, and I’m tapped! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
