Six hours free in Denver and I want to see and hike in the Rocky Mountains. Any recommendations? |
Travel Info I'm going to a friend's wedding in Denver in the fall. I'm going to arrive the night before, but will have about 6 hours in the morning (maybe more if I wake up a little earlier) to see mountains and perhaps do some hiking. The wedding is at 1:30 PM (Saturday) so I have to be back by about noon to clean up, etc. Any recommendations of where to go in that short time? I don't want to get stuck in a lot of traffic. I like mountains and now live in a flat state (Michigan). Travel Tips Move quickly - 6 hours isn't that much time to get out of the city, up into hiking country, and back again.. Others Resist all urges to spend six hours mountain climbing! You're IN the mountains, Pike's Peak is too steep & much grimmer than a nice relaxing brunch in the restaurant district atop a Denver skyline! MikeWonDoctrine You'll need a lot more than 6 hours if you want to see the mountains, however there are a lot of things to see. Go to the citiy's on line tour guide, I am sure you'll find something you would like. I am from Michigan too. Near Stanton. From Denver I would go north-west to the college town of Boulder. Just outside Boulder city limits to the west there are many many beautiful trails, waterfalls and ghost towns. Boulder is only about 45 min to an hour from Denver and is 4 lane. Visit breckenridge ski resort. It is an hour and a half away from denver. You can take a chairlft and enjoy beautiful views. They also have a charming little town that is very pretty. Flat? Michigan has the oldest mountains in North America (Porcupine Mountains). |
