Denver is a very exciting place both to live and to visit. One of my favorite things to do in Denver is heading out to the Zoo. They have a beautiful zoo that has over 400 animals; make sure to check that out. There are several breweries in and around Denver that are neat to tour. If you are hungry for Mexican food, check out Casa Bonita, especially if you have kids. Its a fun eating establishment that has a waterfall with divers during your dinner. But for a place to stay, make sure to stay at the Grand Hyatt Denver. It is a beautiful hotel with a great staff.

Boulder, Colorado is home of The University of Colorado and the CU Buffs. Boulders population was around 100,000 at last count and is approximately 40 minutes northwest of Denver. No trip to Boulder is complete without a stroll down Pearl Street Mall which hosts numerous eclectic shops and eateries. Outdoor enthusiasts thrive in the Boulder area which is host to literally hundreds of miles of hiking and mountain biking trails and open space. The historic Hotel Boulderado is the preeminent choice for accommodations in Boulder and is within walking distance to numerous entertaining venues.

Colorado Springs, CO sits at the base of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. You can enjoy hiking, biking, white water rafting, fly fishing, or exploring Pike's Peak, a local landmark. One of Colorado Springs' main attractions is the Garden of the Gods and it is free to all who want to enjoy it. Visitors enjoy walking the mountain trails, rock-climbing, and even horse-back riding through the Garden. It is truly a spectacular site. There is also river-rafting in the Arkansas River or if you prefer, you can try you hand at some gambling at the nearby casinos of Cripple Creek.

The northernmost city along Colorado's Front Range is Fort Collins. It can be thought of as Boulder's smaller sibling. It is similar to Boulder in that it is also a college town, home of Colorado State University and the CSU Rams. Not far to the west of the city is the six and one-half mile long Horesetooth Reservoir. This big stretch of watery fun beckons those interested in fishing, boating, water skiing, camping and picnicking. White water rafting adrenaline junkies can take day trips on Colorado's Cache La Poudre River which is designated the only National Wild and Scenic River in Colorado.

As you can see, the entire state is one big travel destination and a visit you will not soon forget. When planning your trip, make sure you research which hotels would best suit you and plan ahead because space fills up quickly year-round.
