Going to Denver (again) [View all]

Well, work is taking me to Denver again (arriving on 6/20 at 1:45). Conference starts the next day. On Friday, I have already planned to see Widespread Panic at Red Rocks--super-stoked about that! Except we leave crack-of-dawn on Saturday, so probably will sleep on plane back to Philly.

My conference is in the Denver Tech Center, which is about 40 minutes from downtown by light rail (I think). Bummed that I'm not downtown this time and that I won't have time to get to Rocky Mountain National Park. But any recommendations of natural beauty that I could take in from mid-afternoon on on the 20th?

I managed a quick trip to Golden the last time I was there (in February) and got back to conference on time after breakfast at the Golden Diner.

From what I've heard, the DTC area is kind of boring and I want to get away ASAP while I have some free time after arrival.

Any suggestions welcome!!!!
