Being born and raised in Colorado I wanted to share all the fantastic points to do in that beautiful portion of the nation. I came up with a lot more than you can envision so I condensed my list to five.

1. Red Rocks-The Red Rocks are exactly what it says. They are Red and they’re Rocks. But not just any rocks. They are huge and slanted beautifully in the mountains near Morrison, Colorado, which is around 30 minutes from downtown Denver or 15 miles west of the city. The purpose it is so great is, it serves as an Amphitheater where you can have a good meal at their full service restaurant and bar, or select some thing up from the concession stand. You can also have a wedding, hold a meeting, and the very best point to do at Red Rocks is go to a concert. The acoustics make the sound extraordinary at the Amphitheater, and make the concert experience a lot better than that of a standard music hall. The Amphitheater has been compared to the Ancient Greek Theater at Taormina, Sicily, and stands greater than Niagara Falls.

2. Garden of the Gods-Garden of the Gods is a sandstone formation and has an brilliant view of Pikes Peak. You can go on a guided nature stroll, go horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, and for the lovers, you can get hitched. There wouldn’t be any time for boredom because there is just too significantly to do. Garden of the Gods is in Colorado Springs about 1 hour and 15 minutes or 67 miles south of the Mile High City.

3. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo-The Zoo is also positioned in Colorado Springs and is breathtaking. When you visit, you’ll see significant grizzlies, you can take a mountaineer sky ride, and climb their bouldering wall. They have a historic monument which is 1.four miles away from the zoo entrance that is dedicated to Will Rogers. The Will Rogers shrine was constructed by Spencer Penrose among 1934 and 1937, and is a gorgeous, ought to see part of Colorado.

4. Ski Resorts-Colorado is identified for the Rocky Mountains. The Rockies include beautiful ski resorts such as Steamboat Springs, Aspen Highlands, Aspen Mountain, Buttermilk, Crested Butte, Vail, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Arapahoe Basin, Echo Mountain, Eldora, Howelsen, Loveland, and Monarch Mountain, just to name a couple of. There are in fact over 20 resorts in the lovely mountains of Colorado.

5. Sports Fields-Invesco Field at Mile Substantial, (yes the field was rebuilt, and yes it was provided a new name, but for us natives we nevertheless call it Mile Large), Pepsi Center, and Coors Field. In addition to the sports stadiums, Six Flags is positioned inside of walking distance of the Pepsi Center.
