Do Boulder, great little city with a ton of nice restaurants. A ride up to brekenridge is always pretty. Steamboat springs is a great summer spot as well.

Who are you seeing at red rocks? Flaming Lips? Steely Dan? That looks like an awesome place, and I would love to see a show there someday. Have fun. A guy I work with (a fly guy) has a buddy out there that he visits, and he raves about fishing the San Juan river in NM, but that's quite a ride.

Maybe not the best, but when I was there...
Annie's Cafe 4012 E. 8Th Ave. Chicken fried steak with biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast with a spicy red beer to wash it down 
On the main road from Denver to Red Rocks, just past it there is a small trout stream with plenty of visible fish in it, but I had a MH casting rod with an Abu bait caster and 30# braid.
Homemade salumi and cheesed at Luca D'Italia restaurant at 711 Grant Street, great meal. Actually the chef there, Mike, gave me my first fishing rod and reel as a going away present when we worked together in Boston.
My lady dragged me to the botanical gardens and it was actually really cool.
Have fun! |

Winter Park is a nice town about 2 hrs. from Denver. Fun rodeo, Alpine slide at the ski hill, lakes and trout streams nearby. My wife's bro lives there.

we took the cog railroad up pikes... however we did drive up a mountain in the national park in estes(??) put it in neutral for about 20 miles on the down hill... that was pretty intense... no guardrails and big drop offs windy roads.
that trip was great. red rocks was an amazing venue.. get out there to see a show if you are into that sort of thing.
the heat was unbarable... what you are feeling today and yesterday was our entire trip out there. record heats all week....oh and don't believe any route signs... they were never right
the trip did make me re appreciate where we live and how lucky we are to have this ocean we take for grant it on many occasions. met people out there who have never seen ocean before.
thank you all for the suggestions |
