Wknd getaway within 2 hours of Denver
 

Hubs and I have a free weekend in Septemeber to spend in or around Denver. We'd love to take in some amazing views, hike a little, sip on some craft brews/wine, and hear some live music. Any suggestions? We've been to Boulder recently so maybe somewhere different. Thanks for your help!

Do you live in Denver?
I'd go to the mountains.

Breckinridge would work well for you.

And the whole area in and around it.

You might google to see who has live music for your dates. Check Winter Park, Steamboat, Breckenridge, Vail, Aspen. . ..

A two hour arc from Denver would put you around Avon (Beaver Creek) on I-70.

Two hours is more than enough time to get to Winter Park, also.

We will be in Denver during the week for a conference. Looking to spend the weekend in a cabin or something outside of Denver. We're visiting from Austin, and usually go to Nederland in March, but wasn't sure what cute-sy little town to stay in during September. Thanks for the suggestions, I've never been to Steamboat and heard great things!

I think Breckenridge would be more interesting--deeper into the mountains and more to do in the area. You can go on and visit Vail for lunch or something like that.

Breckenridge/Frisco area would work for you very well. Breck and Frisco would mostly condos If looking for a cabin in the woods, look south of Breckenridge along the Blue river. Lots of single family homes, big cabins, etc.

Who goes to Nederland in March? Must have family there.

Thanks! We actually have been several time for the Frozen Dead Guy Days. It's a ton of fun.

September is a great time of year but the weather can be iffy. There are a number of concerts during the month at Red Rocks, which would be great.
