Feral: Chad, Michael, Lena, and I’s favorite used outdoor wear and gear shop on Tennyson St. Cool shop to wander through on a great street to explore.

Golden: One of the hikes Chad and I have on repeat for visitors is Mt. Galbraith Loop (via Cedar Gulch Trail) just outside of Golden, CO (~20-30 minutes from Downtown Denver). The wildflowers are beautiful in the spring and this ~4 mile hike is a perfect distance and has some great views of the mountains from the top. We always grab lunch at Bob’s Atomic Burgers or a beer at The Golden Mill afterwards

Red Rocks: Lena’s favorite hike in Morrison is ‘Red Rock and Morrison Slide Loop’ which is ~3 miles (~20 minutes from Downtown Denver) and shows off the rock formations. You can also explore the Red Rocks amphitheater which is open to the public every day and grab food or ice cream in Morrison

Boulder Flat Irons Hike: Starting from Chautauqua Park there are many trails that take you up and through the Flat Irons (~30-40 min from downtown Denver). This can be a quick ½ mile hike with the kiddos or a longer ~3 mile hike through the whole system
