Historically hailed as the "Longest, Wickedest Street in America," Colfax is safer now than in recent decades. Definitely some sketchy parts in Aurora and Lakewood, but also home tons of music venues, all-night diners, pubs, and more.
The street’s growing vibrancy provides more “eyes on the street” and is attracting newer businesses to join the iconic Colfax “institutions” such as Pete’s Kitchen, Pete’s Satire Lounge, Voodoo Doughnut, Tom’s Diner, The Irish Snug, and more.
Colfax has a thriving live music scene with The Fillmore, The Ogden Theater, The Lion’s Lair and many more bars serving up live music. The corridor is known for its originality, both in character and in businesses. Colfax supports local businesses and even though some national chain stores have popped up along the corridor, its identity is in the small, locally-owned shops.

The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is a municipal natural history and science museum in Denver, Colorado. It is a resource for informal science education in the Rocky Mountain region.
The Museum is also noted for its world-famous wildlife dioramas. In the mid-20th century, under the leadership of director Alfred Bailey, staff traveled to six continents collecting specimens. Back home, workers painstakingly re-created the habitats using painted backgrounds, special lighting, and carefully crafted reproductions of plants and flowers.

The Bulldog’s dark and shadowy space actually looks and feels like an Old English pub — not a nightclub or a cocktail lounge or a fern bar or even the Punch Bowl, which once occupied this spot. It’s a double-barreled shotgun of a room with the long oak bar on one side and rickety, high-backed wooden booths on the other that are devilishly uncomfortable until you get a couple of drinks in you. Out front, there’s a covered patio just big enough for six smokers to stand without bumping elbows. From the kitchen come a variety of simple pub dishes, livened up here and there with hints of Indian and Pakistani cuisine.

Hogshead Brewery, situated in a repurposed 1950’s gas station, was founded back in 2012 by Jeff Kipp, Michael Manczur and head brewer Stephen Kirby. Their Slo-Hi location has a custom designed integrated control system that allows Kirby to process from one to ten barrels in a batch and ferment in temperature controlled Stainless Steel vessels, all without the help of an assistant brewer. Naturally carbonated casks served from beer engines make up their traditional British libation brewing system, which Hogshead uses for a variety of beers, with an emphasis on English ales, all naturally processed without the assistance of filtration. With three to four great beers on tap via CO2 pressurized kegs, they work to ensure you get a cold brew by positioning their keg and cask rooms right beside the bar. The taproom consists of large banquette tables to encourage discussion in the warm and inviting pet-friendly environment. You can bring your own food, order for delivery or grab a bite from the food trucks they have on occasion. Every Thursday, they have Pig Out Rib Night from 6 p.m. to 7.p.m., featuring four ribs and two beers for $14. Other events at Hogshead include their monthly Road Ride, a 54 mile bike loop starting and ending at the brewery, the second to last Sunday of each month along with occasional live music.

The closest 14,000-foot peak to Denver is also one that has a paved road all the way to the top. Go during the day to see mountain goats, or go at night to see the Milky Way Galaxy and a view of Denver unlike any other.
Colorado’s highest byway happens to be the highest paved road in North America. And as you would expect, the views up to Mount Evans are breathtaking, with alpine lakes, massive granite walls and strands of twisted, ancient bristlecone pine. Keep your eyes peeled for the marmots, mountain goats and bighorn sheep that call the mountain home.

The Colorado Chautauqua, located in Boulder, Colorado, United States, and started in 1898, is the only Chautauqua west of the Mississippi River still continuing in unbroken operation since the heyday of the Chautauqua Movement in the 1920s.
The Flatirons are the striking, slanted, reddish-brown sandstone formations that make up a portion of Boulder’s foothills on the west side of town. They are Boulder’s most iconic landmark, and you’ll see their likeness in business logos and artwork throughout town.
Plenty of trails will take you around and up to the Flatirons, and many of them start from the Chautauqua Trailhead, off Baseline Road. Please allow adequate time for parking, as this can be very a busy area. Stop at the Ranger Cottage for a trail map and to find out about any closures, then climb the steps to the trailhead junction. For an easy-to-moderate hike, take the two-mile Flatiron Loop Trail, winding through the forest beneath the Flatirons. Another option is the hike to Woods Quarry, where you’ll get a view into the site of a historic sandstone quarry, plus enjoy a spectacular view from the stone benches that were assembled by some industrious visitors. These trails travel through ponderosa pine forest, over rocky scree fields, and across open fields, offering various views of the Flatirons and Boulder along the way.

When Strange Craft Beer Company opened just south of Denver's Mile High Stadium in May 2010, it was the first taproom brewery in the city brewing one barrel of beer at a time. Strange has since become a destination spot for Colorado beer drinkers and taken home multiple awards, including four Great American Beer Festival medals and two World Beer Cups. Despite expansion to a 10 BBL brew house, owner Tim Myers is committed to small batches and refers back to their nano roots with One Barrel Wednesdays for experimental brews.

At first glance, the Wolf’s Tailor looks like countless other contemporary restaurants in Denver: Open kitchen, multi-toned wood and brick, clean lines criss-crossed by glass and steel. But look a little closer—at the fresh pasta on display through the window of a back room, at the chefs gliding between the hearth oven and the robata grill, at the Suntory highball machine behind the tiny bar, at the mix of flourishing garden planters and fire pits amid the private tents in the backyard—and you get the sense that something unusual is afoot. Kelly Whitaker, one of Denver and Boulder’s most forward-thinking chef-restaurateurs to date, has pulled together a team of like-minded talents to realize his vision of breaking ground in every sense of the phrase: growing as many vegetables and herbs as possible, milling heritage grains, utilizing whole animals, and putting them all in the service of a low-waste culinary program that stitches together Italian, Japanese, local, and still other ingredients and techniques to defy both classification and expectation. Yet it all fits together beautifully on a tasting menu that’s tailored indeed to make perfect sense.

Serving interesting – to say the least – dishes like rattlesnake, yak, and alligator, The Buckhorn Exchange has been in operation since 1893 – that’s over a century long! This is Denver’s oldest restaurant that once upon a time served the likes of Buffalo Bill Cody.
Upon entering, you’ll feel instantly transported to a different era. The theme is nostalgic and western. From the entrance you move onto the dining area where the walls are lined with taxidermy. You’ll see elk, bears, jackalopes, and more. It’s a hunter’s paradise for some and perhaps a bit uncomfortable for others. But all in all, it’s definitely 100% authentic, old west.
The Buckhorn Exchange is a wonderful restaurant to experience when in Colorado. From the ambiance, to the menu, to the vintage decor, it’s perhaps the most authentic Colorado experience to enjoy if looking for a taste of the wild, wild, west.
