Ideas on what to do around Denver?

1 Answer

Answer :

I spent some time in Boulder which is only an hour away and is also really beautiful. I had fun taking a tour of the Celestial Seasonings tea factory ( a free tour) and also visiting a truly beautiful cafe called the Dushanbe (sp?) tea house, which is a full tea-house that they brought over from Tajikstan. Estes State Park is also nearby and is extraordinarily beautiful, although I visited in springtime and am not sure what the road-access is like in the snowy season.
