We are flying in to Denver the last week of August. We are trying to decide whether to head to SW Colorado where we have never been and may be somewhat rushed or stay around Rock Mountain and try to find a cabin for a few days. We've been to Rock Mountain Nat'l Park a couple of times and would like to see experience something new. Any hidden gems near Denver that we might be missing? We want to enjoy the scenery, hike a little, and not be around a ton of people.

Doesn't sound like the kind of thing that would be on your agenda (and i have no insights on any hiking things), but Red Rocks Ampitheatre in Morrison is an amazing venue....

I'm envious - I've never been and really want to go to Colorado at some point.
Have a wonderful time Susielou!

I'll have about three weeks off between semesters soon. Thinking about packing up the dog and heading to national park to recharge and do some day-hikes (he's probably not ready for backcountry).
Ideas, let them fly.

Thanks BVille. I think I misspoke. A lot of the national parks have such restrictions. National Forests, however, are pretty much open to K9 on a leash.

Heading to Colorado and Estes Park Saturday with an overnight stop in Denver/Morrison for a concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheater. So ready to get out of 105+ heat indexes. Rained today so hoomidity will be atrocious this afternoon!

Taking the pooch to San Juan National Forest (Silverton, CO) on Sunday. It'll be his first trip so we will probably do some car-camping and day hikes. Will be nice to get away for a bit.

We leave for Colorado Aug 26th. I can hardly wait. Have BSA audit this coming week so it will be nice to have that out of the way before we go.
