Were headed to Denver next month.
Being from Maine, does anyone know if there is anything I might want to see or do while The Mrs. is skiing?

Thanks

The biggest thing I would recommend is going to Wyoming instead of Denver

If your wife just wants to ski, go to Jackson and ski Snow King or Grand Targhee on the west slope of the Tetons.

The country is much more beautiful than Denver. Denver looks like a billiard table in the sage brush

Boulder is a 40m drive north, neat downtown. NCAR Mesa Lab is ok, designed by M. Pei. There's some entrances to Rocky Mountain National Park on the way and outside Boulder too.
Air Force Academy 1hr south
Pikes Peak is 1.5hrs south

Estes Park is cool you will see elk and sheep there if your lucky. Denver stinks otherwise with the sulfur smell (air pollution) that hangs in the air I was there 20 years ago maybe they cleaned that up.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Where is she going to be skiing? There's lots of ski areas within 1 hr of Denver.

Oh cool.
Small ski towns like breckinridge don't have much but have great restaurants. There's tons of jeep rated trails all over. You can rent a trail rated jeep for a day too. Breweries throughout Colorado. Fishing is always an option. MLB game
