Meh. That's just for the flatlander tourists.

1. Take somebody else to the mountains. Would you take your wife to the strip club? Not usually, right?
2. The Denver area is a haven for micro-breweries. I'd dedicate at least a few hours to touring a brewer you enjoy. Even Coors might be fun even though I haven't done that one and I don't really consume their products.
3. Avoid movie theaters.
4. Don't buy a car.
5. Rockies games are overrated but if MLB is important to you, might as well go.

I think those are all the important ones.

Ban water.

It's truly impressive how many people come here for vacation given the perceived level of hatred toward the people here by many on this site. :)

we only hate blue and orange people

Hey! Orange & Blue are Awesome!

Just not donkey-colored blue & orange.

I really dont even hate bronco fans I just hate the 95% of the fan base that are fair weather. Cant name a single player on the team or who theyre playing the following weekend but GOOOOOOO BRONCOOSSS!!!! YEAAA GOO!!!!!..****n joke fanbase

I went to school in co. great state minus the people. way too liberal.

Thanks for the input, all - I'll check out the helpful responses in more detail when I get a chance.

For those saying to take someone else, or go somewhere else - not an option. This is a trip wrapped around a need to be in Denver for some medical stuff. So, making the best of an existing situation.

As for the altitude sickness - thanks for the tips on the water. She tends to get very sick the first couple days she's in Denver, so trying to avoid major altitude changes once we're there, as it seems like that triggers a recurrence. Maybe the water thing will help. Any other suggestions for this?

Colorado is still on fire, but I don't know how that has affected Denver. If it missed Broncos Infested Field need to pore some gas in that direction.

She gets altitude sickness in Denver? Jeez. I'd be very wary of going above 8,000 feet then.

From my limited time there, I've come up with a good rule of thumb - everything west of Denver = awesome. Denver and everything east of Denver = sucks.

I hope that you have more reasons than "the Broncos play there and their fans suck"

over a gallon of water a day and at the minimum 5 bjs a day. its science. she wouldnt understand

No, not really.

I wouldn't even stay at a hotel in Denver - continued driving until we got to Golden. I told my wife that if there was some sort of accident and I died in Denver, my soul would not be able to ascend to heaven.
