Denver Skatepark

Don’t forget sunscreen! Even if it’s a bit cloudy I ended up getting sunburnt just from hanging out. A hat would be a great idea too!
Denver Skate Park
9.1
Make sure to bring some snacks and water. The park doesn't have many food options nearby, and trust me, you don't wanna spend extra cash for a soda
Aspen Highlands Ski Resort
7.1
Aspen Mountain
7
Try to make it up the mountain by 9:00 AM. The lines for the lifts get super long as the day goes on, and you want to maximize your runs!
Silver Queen Gondola
6.5
If you want the best views, try to ride the gondola around 4 PM. The light is magical, and you'll get some killer photos! Just make sure to dress warm because it can get chilly.
Rushmore Tramway Adventures
6.4
If you can, go on a weekday instead of the weekend. It's way less crowded, and you can enjoy the rides more. I went on a Friday, and it was a breeze!
Check out the sunset from the top. I almost missed it, but it was so worth it! Just make sure you plan your rides to have enough time before the park closes.
I suggest buying the combo ticket online. It includes more activities than paying separately, and I saved some cash that way. Plus, it feels nice to be ahead of the game!
Howelsen Hill Ski Area
6
If you're looking to save some cash, I suggest grabbing a day pass instead of individual lift tickets; it seriously cuts down costs if you're planning to ski all day.
I recommend checking the snow report before you head out. I didn't, and was surprised by the lack of fresh snow! It made skiing a bit less fun than expected.
Royal Gorge Suspension Bridge
4.9
If you get there early, like around 9 AM, you can enjoy the bridge with fewer crowds. Plus, the light in the morning is fantastic for photos!
My advice is to check the weather before you go. I went on a cloudy day and missed the stunning views of the gorge! Pretty disappointing.
Alamosa Skatepark
0.1
I recommend bringing your own water and snacks because there's not much nearby. I ended up wasting time looking for a store during my visit. Just pack some lunch and stay fueled for skating!
My advice is to go around 4 PM when the sun isn't too harsh. I made the mistake of going midday and it was super hot! The later time also had fewer kids which was nice.
