A perfect day - close by
A favorite destination for locals and visitors both; Olde Town has an array of shops, boutiques, restaurants, breweries, and winery. Jump off at the light rail stop in Historic Olde Town Arvada. Grab coffee at the Bluegrass Coffee & Bourbon Lounge (check the calendar for live music), Lunch at the School House is a must, take a walk through the neighborhood and see some of the old houses, and finish your day with a custom cocktail at the Arvada Tavern.

Start the morning out at Red Rocks Amphitheater to see where all the best live music happens outdoors. It's a stunning backdrop for photos and a great place to get in a scenic walk in (start at the trading post for a short loop). After taking in all the fresh air, head into the town of Morrison to indulge in some local shops full of trinkets and fun and stop at The Morrison Inn for some good Mexican Food or The Cow (trust me, it's fun)!
