You can get from Denver to Rockie Mountain National Park in about an hour and a
half. Go north from Denver and then west, across the north end of Longmont and
you will soon be in the foothills. It is well worth it.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Here is part of my response to a previous Denver visitor posting.

Downtown Denver has many attractions including the Molly Brown House
(of Titanic fame) (www.mollybrown.org/), the Denver Art Museum
(www.denverartmuseum.org/), Colorado History Museum
(www.coloradohistory.org/) and the Ocean Journey Aquarium
(www.oceanjourney.org/). Near downtown is the Denver Zoo
(www.denverzoo.org), Denver Museum of Nature and Science (a must see)
(www.dmns.org/), and the Wings Over The Rockies Air and Space Museum
(www.wingsmuseum.org). Shopping in downtown Denver includes the Denver
Pavillions, Larimer Square, the 16th St Mall, and LoDo (Lower
Downtown).

Two Denver attractions you might not hear about are the Tattered Cover
Bookstore in LoDo and Cherry Creek (www.tatteredcover.com), one of the
finest independent bookstores in the USA, and The White Fence Farm
Restaraunt in the suburb of Lakewood
(http://www.whitefencefarm.com/denver/index.html), a complete American
country dining experience.

Here are some sites that have more Colorado visitor information

Enjoy your visit to Colorado!
