Denver is a great place to spend a luxurious weekend of fine dining and 5 star mountain lodges, but with so much natural beauty there is plenty to see and do on a shoe string budget as well.<\/p>\n
~Red Rocks Ampitheatre~<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n The Rocky Mountains are the most obvious freebie in Denver as they are everywhere you look, but check out Red Rocks Ampitheatre.\u00a0 There are beautiful hiking trails and vistas over the rocks around it and when there is not a concert or event at the ampitheatre, there is a free visitors center and performers hall of fame.<\/p>\n ~Denver Art Museum<\/a>~<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Most of the time the Denver Art Museum charges a small (and well worth it) admission fee, but if you make it on the first Friday of the month then you can explore all seven floors of art from around the world for free!<\/p>\n ~Breweries~<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Denver is chock full of breweries, many of them offering free tours.\u00a0 The most famous of course is the Coors Brewery (technically in Golden, CO<\/a>, but close enough!).\u00a0 If Coors isn’t your thing though, there are literally dozens of smaller craft breweries to fit every taste within the city limits.\u00a0 I was lucky enough to attend BruFrou<\/a> and try many of them in one go, but I would love to go back and visit some of my favorites personally!<\/p>\n
