Greetings OP
How much time do you have in our fine state? Are you thinking of doing some hiking, if so, what level of fitness would you say you are in? How much do you like beer? Staying in Denver or going to explore the state? We have some awesome breweries and I'm sure you'd love checking them out. |

Staying in Denver or going to explore the state? We have some awesome breweries and I'm sure you'd love checking them out. I'll probably be visiting for a week or so. I really don't have a set day. I'd love to go hiking, but I might not get acclimated to the altitude in time for much hiking. I'm in fair shape at 6' and 185lbs. I love beer! I really don't have a set number of days I'll be there. I'm just trying to get away for a few days/weeks and see something different. I've had one hell of a stressful couple of months and need to relax. My return flight will be open ended, so we'll see how it goes.

I would recommend you hike to Chasm Lake. It's about 1 hour from Denver to the Trailhead. It's pretty high, but it's just below the altitude that most people really have problems. Do it on a weekday.
Other notable hikes: Wild Basin/ Calypso Falls in Rocky Mountain National Park Breweries: Check out: Crooked Stave (if you are intersted in Sour Beers) Great Divide Epic Brewing Co. Breckenridge Brewing (awesome new place they JUST built) Odyssey Strange Breckenridge is one of my favorite mountain towns to check out. Very nice up there; somewhat close to Denver. You could also drive to Estes Park / Rocky Mountain National Park from Denver. |

Well I got my flight and hotel booked. I'll fly into Denver late Friday (July 3), and staying at the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center until the next Saturday (July 13).
If anyone wants to have a beer or two that would be awesome. |

I am camping and hiking along the Peak to Peak highway and exploring Rollinsville, Moffett Tunnel, Nederland area, Longs Peak, Estes Park and RMNP, Grand Lake and Winter Park, etc. until Rush on the 11th at Pepsi Arena! |

I had to postpone my flight due to a few things beyond my control, I'm in the process of rescheduling my flight as this very moment though.
Did I mention that I'm traveling solo on this? So any opportunities to meet fellow arfcommers are welcome! |

I know it's been mentioned, but you have to hit up Strange Craft Brewery.
That's kinda my home bar and they make some of the best damn beer in a state full of great beer. |

Breweries, you gotta check these out- Crooked Stave (if you are intersted in Sour Beers) Great Divide Epic Brewing Co. Breckenridge Brewing (awesome new place they JUST built) Odyssey Bierworks Strange ^^^ You really can't go wrong with any of the above, and there is even more good stuff too - that is just to me the pinnacle of the Denver Beer Scene. If you drive 1 hour north you can hit Fort Collins and go to Odells, New Belgium, Horse and Dragon, Fort Collins Brewery, etc. They have good restaurants as well and a pretty cool small downtown area called "old town" |

If we wanted to have some sort of Meet-up Friday night I will be in Denver. We could meet at a brewery, say Strange Craft or Breckenridge Brewery (the new one, in S Denver)

I saw the snow still on the top of them from my hotel window. I brought summer clothes fit for the south, not snow capped mountains. I wanted to though, whole reason I went. |

It's only 5-15 degrees cooler in the mountain towns. It's only cold on TOP of the mountains.
But yeah, some southern folk can get really cold coming to Colorado. It's because you aren't acclimated to it. :) |
