Peral Street Mall is a must see, as are the iconic Flatirons. Lots of great hiking and mountain biking nearby, because the Flatirons are steep! Home to the University of Colorado Buffalos. Beautiful city only 30 mins away.

Local Eat/Drink
Great beers in a relaxing atmosphere. Food truck inside: Mighty Colorado Burger is very good too. The flagship brewery is downtown Denver and has the famous mural on the wall. This location has all the beers though :) Be a man and try the Princess Yum Yum...you won't regret it!
