luke79 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I'm looking for things to do in Denver when I fly there to see the 2 Wilco shows at the Fillmore. Any suggestions are welcomed. Any restaurants, or sights to see, etc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Let me search for an old thread to re-post my list. I'm sure MysticalSpiral will have some input, too. Definitely hit Pete's diner on Colfax, though. A great place for after-show eats. A Denver institution. The Rockies are not in town, either. Coors field is a gorgeous park to catch a game in.

Lammycat Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 3 days, so I have some time to spare.If you're wanting to do a blast through the mountains on a nice day-trip on your off day, I'd suggest either Mount Evans (accessible through Idaho Springs) or Rocky Mountain National Park (accessible through Estes Park). Both are about an hour from Denver and are beautiful drives. The likelihood of seeing moose, elk, mountain goats, etc. are very good and the views are incredible. It's also a nice escape from the heat of the city. Then again, you may come from mountain country and this may not interest you.... Denver is full of night life, too. There's always a ton of bands on any given night that are worthy of catching. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
