Weekend Getaway Places to Visit in Denver Colorado

My husband and I had the incredible pleasure after 14 years of marriage and four children to disappear for a weekend getaway. Where’s a small town mom living in a homeschool housekeeping world suppose to take her husband on a midnight adventure going to go?

To Denver, Colorado, that’s where you go. Denver, the mile-high city, is located in the beautiful state of Colorado. After one weekend in this beautiful state, we were hooked! So hooked, we looked into purchasing a vacation property. Colorado or bust!

Downtown Denver Things To Do

Colorado is a beautiful state to explore if you’re looking for a fast weekend getaway and escape into the great outdoors. I enjoy taking the scenic route through the mountains or a hike in Colorado’s many national state parks. Whatever you choose, you’re sure to enjoy your stay in Colorado.

But if you’re not looking to explore the great outdoors for a quick weekend getaway, Denver is still the place to go. Denver’s downtown area offers many restaurants, galleries, museums, shopping for the indoorsy adventure or the history buff.
