I enjoyed just getting out of the city and driving through Rocky Mountain National Park...we spent a few days and really enjoyed the mountain air. Of course then we went home to Houston...looked around...and went blah LOL. I love my hometown, but it's not exactly full of natural scenic beauty in late July LOL.
The Colorado State Capitol Building has free tours...LOL, I always tour those if I'm in a state/province capitol...but now I LIVE in a state capitol and have never been to ours...go figure.
The
Georgetown Loop Railroad looks like fun...and not as expensive as most of the train trips we have looked at.
