I'm planing a trip to denver/surrounding area in mid/late April. I wondered if any of you knew of anything to do outside of what the travel guide suggests.

If you head down South to Colorado Springs I could give you a list of stuff to check out. Otherwise try and talk to JackRyan or MegE they are in Denver :)
Are you looking for things to do in the city or are you into outdoorsy stuff as well?

Beer-yes
Outdoors-yes
Art-yes
City-yesWe are going to be there for a week so hopefully we could fit in a bit of each. Is the New belgium brewery tour worth it?

no mention of andy garcia yet and what he does in denver while dead?
- megE0
I haven't been on that one yet - but Coors is fun even if the beer is shit. Lefthand Brewery is here, as well as Flying Dog Brewery. Plus about every place here brews their own beer.
I know lots of great hiking places that I can point you in the direction of. I'll go with you if you'd like... but there's no way we'll convince JackRyan to tag along! ha!
Lots of great places downtown to visit and see. Museums are good. I would just follow what the tour books tell you there. They're pretty honest.
Skiiing might actually still be decent by then if we ever get any snow.
Feel free to email me if you want

Which bars in Boulder are "good"?MisterPants - Did I hear correctly that you can carry a certain about of weed legally there? My friend tells me it is so, but I don't believe him.
tcmmct - yeah colorado weed laws are looser (and so are the women..HA!) than typical statesmegE
- umm... good bars in Boulder - I like the walrus for trivia night, Bacaro for patio, walnut for patio, lazy dog for sportsmegE
- round midnight to get blitzeduberdesigner

- I end up going to Sputnik, Larimer, or Three Kings in Denver.MisterPants
