Any suggested attractions near Denver, Colorado?
My husband and his father are currently in Denver and will have a free weekend to sight see. My father-in-law is older and has difficulty breathing/walking so hiking and guided tours are a no go… Any suggestions of things to do or see while mainly staying in the car?
go watch the Nuggets play when the Lakers play them
