hello! my boyfriend and I are traveling to Denver at the end of this month for the very first time. we have been looking at different things to do online but the most we see are museums. we are very outdoorsy and love adventure. we do plan to do snowboarding one of the days we are out there and we would love to do a good hike if anyone has any suggestions on what we should do that would be perfect! we are also straying in Georgetown if that helps narrow it down. thank you so much!

Why are you staying in Georgetown? There is very little to nothing there. And it really isn't convenient to anything. Need a little more clarity on what you really want to do and total time.

If you want to stay in the mountains, Frisco would be a better choice if not staying directly at a ski area. Hiking would be difficult in the mountains although you could probably snowshoe.
At Copper Mountain there is an indoor fun place for active folks--Woodward. It is where snowboarders and skiers perfect their tricks by falling into foam pits.
there is fly fishing if you want to do that. Silverthorne is a good base to do that.

We were going to stay in Georgetown because it was a little cheaper but we’re open to any suggestions on where to stay! We also love the snow so anything that has to deal with snow is fine. We are looking into showshoeing so any suggestions on where to snowshoe would be cool also!

I agree with Gretchen that Frisco would be a better choice than Georgetown. It's about 10 miles from Breckenridge which has a snow sculpture festival the last week of January. That is very cool (no pun intended)!

Tons of places to go snowshoeing near there. One of my favorites is called Mayflower Gulch. In my mind's eye the lower part is safe from avalanche danger. But plenty of options. Check in with the visitor center or one of the outdoor shops for current conditions and reccomendations.

You might look for ski areas that have cross country trails (Keystone does) that would be good for snow shoeing. There is also a bike trail around Dillon that could be good for snowshoeing. Rental shops in Dillon or Frisco could give information I would think.

Breckenridge Nordic Center has everything you need for snowshoeing.
