Colorado is home to no less than twenty-six ski resorts such as those in Vail and Breckenridge; other winter activities include snowboarding, sledding, sleigh rides, snow hiking and snowmobiling. The state is blessed with national parks, grasslands and forests where in warmer weather you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking or rock climbing. Wildlife abounds, from bears to moose and raccoons to wolverines. More interested in local history? Head for either the Ute Indian Museum or the Koshare Indian Museum, and don't miss the forts such as Fort Garland and Bent's Old Fort. For a complete change, why not take a ride in a hot air balloon from South Park Valley or Boulder and admire Colorado's picturesque landscape from above?

A nice short hike, moderate. You can go 5 miles or so, out and back. Climb a ridge to look out across scenery, examine scattered remnants of Boston Mine/town area. Wildflowers abound in season.

I think I've said it all in the title. Getting there from Denver area is a scenic drive in itself. The grove is amazing. Goats can be seen. It is awesome.

Scenic Colorado mountain range.
Beautiful and fun to drive through to view wildlife (elk and mule deer in the fall), awesome drive up the one-way dirt Old Fall River Road, amazing aspens in the alluvial fan/endo valley area, cool to stop by the ranger stations/visitor centers and learn as much as you can about the mountains and wildlife. Rangers are more than happy to answers your questions. Become a junior ranger and learn about the ecosystems which make up the Rocky Mountain National Park, hike around Sprague Lake and Bear Lake (my favorite!), stop at Many Parks Curve, check out Moraine Park in the evening to watch the elk herds and just enjoy the beauty of nature.
