Go up a Mountain or two.

How long are you going to be there? There is a ton to do but a lot is up the hills.

I was born and raised in Colorado, and spent many weekends in Denver. What exactly are you wanting to do?

I'll be at the game with 7 of my closest friends - all Bronco fans.

outdoors, I'll sniff out some nightlife later

i thought the nightlife sucked while i was there...and i was in my early/mid-20s. the clubs are trendy/techno shit joints. there is a ton of outdoorsy stuff to do up the mountains though. the wife and i are heading out there the following week to celebrate our birthdays with some friends we have there and just get away. what i love about colorado is, every time we go, i hardly spend any money because just heading up in the mountains is the best thing to do.

Your best bet is to stick around Boulder. There are many great hikes around that area, but if you are seeking solitude, I'd stay away. The trails in that area are usually pretty crowded, and nearly everyone has a friendly dog that demands your attention.

This time of year you wont be able to hike much in the rockies due to snow, but there are many options. One of my all-time favorite hikes was up to Hanging Lake, just outside of Glenwood Springs. The hike is strenous but the lake is worth it, Glenwood Springs also has a natural hot springs, which feels fantastic with the cooler air. The drive itself through the continental divide, and through Glenwood Canyon is worth it. Doc Holiday also died in a hotel in Glenwood Springs.

As far as night life goes, LoDo (Lower Downtown) is where you'll wanna be. After every sporting even, the bars get packed by fans, mainly because most of them offer specials for those that bring in their tickets.

Also, if you are in to golfing, Arrowhead in Littleton is consistently voted one of the most scenic courses in the country.

So jealous! Wish I had the cash to travel to games like that. If I didnt live in Alaska and still lived in Michigan at least I would be able to see some home games! Looking forward to getting back to the lower 48 to see some games! I met some pretty cool Lions fans from Canada in 2008 when I went to watch Detroit play at Houston though!

these trips havent been that expensive. I'm a member with Spirit Airlines, so my airfare to Tampa/Miami last year was $55 round trip. I was planning my vacation around Christmas anyways last year.

Tampa for opening day was only $68(air) and getting tickets to both Miami and Tampa are cheap since they dont sell out.

I drove to Minny and it was only $145 for gas. Ticket was $40 for the game and was a pretty good seat.

Dallas was only $134 for airfare on Spirit.

This trip(Den) is a little more($228 air) I had to take Frontier Airlines since Spirit doesnt fly there.

Oakland might be a problem because its too close to Christmas and I haven't seen any air deals unless I want to drive 500 Miles from Las Vegas
