Hi friends! I'm going to be in Denver soon visiting a friend. Unfortunately, that friend will have to work a lot of the time I'm there, so I'm looking for suggestions for (affordable) things to do around the area, that I can get to by public transport! I've never left my home state and I live in a smallish town, so everything is super new to me - the public transport, huge city, etc. I'm up for the adventure, but would love to hear from people who live there or have been there for recommendations :)

    What part of Denver will you be staying in? That will help to determine things to do and access to transportation.

    It's 80 right now, and you can pretty much go anywhere on public transportation. Downtown is cool, but if you can get on the west side of town, there's a lot of parks and hiking. Denver is huge; what area will you be in?

    And yes, there is a ton of weed.

    There's nothing to do there but get high. You probably shouldn't go as it's super crowded and cold.

    You can go hiking, brewery tours, go shopping at the Orchards, see the republic of Boulder

    It is super warm here still. Very crowded, true. PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT MOVE HERE. thank you :smile:

    Shh don't give away the secret :)

    Boulder will turn most people off. If you don't use trail etiquette, the locals will chew your *kitten*. The orchards is expensive. And there's pretty much a brewery on every corner. But really. DONT MOVE HERE! :wink:

    The 16th street mall, tour the mint down town denver, tour Coors, Celestial Seasoning, The Hammond Candy factory. All these are free. Lots of parks, bike trails, fairly cheap recreation centers, You name it you can probably find it here in CO.
