Things to do in Denver during the summer?

Thinking of heading out that way for a week during June just to try something different for vacation instead of a beach
A few things I've thought of so far:
Rockies game
Great Divide Brewing Co tour
Red Rocks Park
Union Station
Any other suggestions I should try?

coors brewery in golden, co...
Natural science museum and the Denver zoo are both fantastic...
estes park....
stay a night or two at a ski resort, where you can rent a mountain bike and then take the lift up and ride back down the various trails...
guided fly fishing trip in the high mountains...they are typically on public lands, so you can go back to the same spot for free by yourself the next day...
go up to steamboat and take in a pro rodeo...
hop around lodo and have dinner and drinks at a few different spots...
ETA: once you go to the mountains in the summer, you will never go back to the beach, IMO....

Excellent recommendations and so true. I lived in boulder years back. Summertime is the best.
If you are interested in the fly fishing stuff let me know here, there's an outfit and a particular guide on the south platte that is very good

This. I was there once for business and had just a bit of time so I went to this. It is excellent.

My dad is a Engineering Professor @ MSU. When I was growing up he would teach summer school @ various colleges around the country because it paid better. We would spend 3 months living in an apartment with a swimming pool. Mom and the kids got a long vacation and got to see a lot of different parts of the country. Boulder and Fort Collins were the best summers of all.

I'd go in the mountains, you could do downhill mountain biking

Had the worst experience with that. I would avoid this if I were you OP.
Now rock climbing, that's where it's at

The mountains of course but in the city, hang out at Denver Beer Company...they have a great patio.
The Denver botanical garden is really nice.
Falling Rock Tavern has the best beer selection in Denver.
Biker Jim's has great gourmet hotdogs.
Fort Collins is a short drive up the freeway and is a really cool town. I would consider living there if I were young and single.
