Local Hiking

Summerfest is a cornerstone of the foothills' summer festival season. Drawing artists from across the region and offering nearly 100 booths for attendees to peruse, this annual 2-day festival also features live music throughout the day from local favorite bands, food trucks and spirits vendors, a children's craft and activity area, and a glorious landscape in which to enjoy it all. Summerfest 2024 runs July 20 and 21 from 10 to 5 daily at Buchanan Park Field, just a mile down the road from CAE and only a few minutes off I70 at Evergreen Parkway.

(Reservations Required) The Scenic Byway to Mount Blue Sky climbs over 7,000 feet in its 28-mile length, reaching an altitude of 14,130' feet. Idaho Springs serves as the starting point to the byway, which is the highest paved road in North America! This drive offers visitors scenic views of the Continental Divide, mountain goat and bighorn sheep herds, marmots, birds and apline wildflowers, and the Rocky Mountain Bristlecone Pine trees.

Located just off I-70 and only 45 miles west of Denver, the Georgetown Loop Railroad and Mining Park is one of Colorado’s most authentic living museums and historically immersive experiences. Bring your family and friends for a narrow gauge train ride, book a real silver mine tour, or learn how to pan for gold. Discover the rugged romance of the Colorado Rockies in the 1880s. Climb aboard and travel back in time.
