Food Halls

Can't get everyone to decide on the same place to eat? This place has all the options to please everyone! As well as some shopping and other local businesses. Everyone can get what they want with all the variety of food, and feel free to grab an adult beverage at the bar and grab a seat in the common area. Great for quick to-go orders as well. It's about an 8-minute drive from the house.

Located in Downtown Denver, this is a great place to try a variety of foods. So many options to choose from and we recommend all of them. You can have a drink at the bars or enjoy coffee at the local coffee shop. Lots of seating and plenty to walk around and see. Don't miss out on a selfie moment in the alley outback. And see if you can find the secret speakeasy for a nightcap.

Some of the best food in Denver can be found at the Source. Both a marketplace and hotel, this spot is great for dining and shopping or to get drinks with friends. Make sure to grab some local pastries or a loaf of bread from Reunion Bread Co, a beautiful floral arrangement from Beet & Yarrow, or get your haircut at BarberX. And if you only eat at one place while in Denver, make a reservation at Safta!

This is truly an iconic venue and it is worth the hike to see a concert or movie here under the stars. It’s also a great place to hike. From Mumford and Sons to Bon Iver, you will be in for a memorable experience.

Hiking

This is only a 20-minute drive from the house and is a must! It is a 1.4 mile loop and it is the most recommended hike for those who are hiking for the first time in Denver and for those visiting Denver. Why? It is a relatively flat hike with beautiful red rock formations surrounding you the entire time. And if you find that after hiking the loop once, you would like more of a challenge you can: hike it again, hike up into the amphitheater, or try out the nearby Red Rocks Trail.

Parks & Lakes

These are some nearby parks and lakes to enjoy a nice walk or to play in the Denver sunshine.
This is our neighborhood park. It's a quick walk to get to the park and playground. The playground is perfectly shady on hot summer days. Lots of green space, baseball fields, and basketball court. It's a perfect stroll around the perimeter of the park.

This is the closest lake with a walking path and a playground to the house. It's about a 4-minute drive or a 20-minute walk. Listen to your favorite podcast as you stroll around the lake. The path is about a mile long. You can even get close to the water with a couple of docks and sandy areas. The playground has lots to offer as well.

This is a great neighborhood that is completely pedestrian-friendly only 5-10 minutes from the house. It has really awesome restaurants, coffee shops, bars, shopping, and more! Check out the farmers market on Sundays during the warmer months in Olde Town Square. Grab some Tex-Mex and margaritas at Fuzzy's, delicious pizza at Home Grown Tap and Dough, or an amazing Baja Mexican dinner at Lady Nomada. The Bluegrass coffee is the perfect coffee shop to get some work done, and then to grab happy hour after you finish your day. You can easily commute to Union Station downtown by hopping on the light rail at the Olde Town station in order to catch a Rockies game.
