2) Attend a concert at the Red Rocks.
3) Explore Mesa Verde, the ancient cliff dwellings of Colorado.
4) Relax at Strawberry Park Hot Springs.
5) Spend a day at the Great Sand Dunes National Park – You don’t need snow to snowboard!

7) Listen to elk bugle at Rocky Mountain National Park during the September-October rutting season
