Or head farther into the hills and go camping. Right now -- at least until some moron pitches a smoke into the woods or starts a bonfire to cook his pre-cooked hotdogs -- you can even enjoy a campfire. I can't count all the breathtaking areas where you can pitch a tent, but I highly recommend Gil Folsom's Colorado Campgrounds: The 100 Best and All the Rest to help you find that secluded spot that will already be occupied by the guy in his hundred-foot RV. Nothing makes a beer taste better than mountain air and campfire smoke in your eyes.

The bottom line: Denver offers summer fun for everyone. Guys, get out there and find a welcoming watering hole while your significant other shops. Ladies, drop me a line here at Westword; I'll meet you at the mall.
