Member 2689 Denver, CO | Subject: RE: Visiting Denver Depends on her interests. Here are some suggestions. Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Current exhibits Denver Zoo (right next to DMNS) Denver Art Museum. Current exhibits Denver Mint (mint as in money production) Dinosaur Ridge (lots of fossils, including some in situ) Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum Elitch's Amusement Park Lakeside Amusement Park Water World Amusement Park Denver Urban Farm If she likes outdoor stuff like hiking, etc.: Chatfield Reservoir, Jefferson County Open Space, and Golden Gate Canyon State Park have lots of hiking trails. Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs (about an hour south) Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater Rocky Mountain National Park (about 90 minutes northwest) For shopping: Cherry Creek North Cherry Creek Mall and REI in central Denver Park Meadows Mall in south Denver Flatirons Crossing in Broomfield (~30 min. NW of Denver) Colorado Mills in west Denver, Southlands SE of Denver Very hot weather is predicted. Sunscreen and lots of water is highly recommended!! Hope you have a fun trip. |

Expert 2180 Boise, Idaho | Subject: RE: Visiting Denver It's odd, but I didn't smell any pot the whole time I was there. And I've smelt pot up close and personal. Or does the 'new' pot smell different? |
