Travelling to Denver in March-not a skier - need ideas?


Travel Info
Traveling to Golden, CO 3/13-3/17 on business - staying through 3/21. Limited amt of time - to sightsee, should we go north to Estes Park, or south to Pikes Peak (tram isn't running yet I believe). Not into skiing, or nightlife - really want to see the beauty of the area (mountains). Any travel/things to do suggestions?

Travel Tips
I recommend:

Denver Art Museum, Denver
Known for its wide range of Native American art, this museum also contains the only major Asian art collection in the Rocky Mountains.
Attraction type: Art museum


Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver
Spanning more than 23 acres, this urban garden features more than 15,000 species from around the world.

Colorado State Capitol, Denver
A key feature in the Denver skyline because of its gold bell-shaped dome, the Capitol Building, fittingly in the Mile High City, has a point located at exactly 5,280 feet above sea level. Free tours are available for visitors.
Attraction type: Government building

Other Travel Tips
If you have that weekend free, you definitely have time to see both Estes Park and Pikes Peak - go to Estes Park (and Rocky Mountain National Park) one day, and then drive down about 2 hours to Colorado Springs (Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods) the next day. Since you seem to have the time, I'd recommend doing both places - if you were limited to only one day, I'd say Estes Park since it's closer to Golden.

DO BOTH!!!!! : D

(Maybe you could tour the Coors brewery in Golden as well.)
