Outside of the ganja...what is a must do or see?
First week of June is my time there. Will have to be at work convention for the latter part of the week but willing to start the trip off somewhere else close by if there is something cool to do.

Go eat at a restaurant called Linger.
One of my favorite places to eat in the country.

White water rafting is big in Colorado in the summer. Oh yeah, and smoke pot.

Drive to Boulder and through the mountains. Stop off and hike at random spots.

Take 119 West out of Boulder towards Nederland. The road goes through a gorge into the mountains . Lots of trails to stop and check out. Snow on the ground in spots once you get in the mountains. Nederland has a decent brew and BBQ joint.
Another option is to brewery hop. The Denver area is like the Napa Valley of beer.

Eat at Beau Jo's pizza. And check out some breweries. Go to Tommy Knocker's in Idaho Springs.

This. Some good spots: Falling Rock Tap House, Great Divide, Cheeky Monk, Epic Brewing, Strange Brew, Prost (those are in Denver). In Boulder: Avery, Mountain Sun, Boulder Beer.
Other things to do: Rocky Mountain Natl Park (if Trail Ridge Road is open), white water rafting (go to Canon City and raft the Royal Gorge), Mt. Evans, Pikes Peak, Rockies game, get stoned.

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below,
he saw everything as far as you can see.
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun,
and he lost a friend, but kept the memory.
Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forest and the streams, seeking grace in every step he takes.
His sight is turned inside himself, to try and understand
the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake.

He was stoned out of his mind when he wrote that.

No doubt, but his best lyrics by far.

He was born in the summer of his 27th year, coming home to a place he'd never been before.
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again,
you might say he found a key for every door.
When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away on the road and hanging by a song.
But the strings already broken and he doesn't really care,
it keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long.

This is good. Drive up through Boulder Canyon. The destruction from the floods is pretty wild to see. Estes Park is cool and of course RMNP is beautiful.

I like these ideas about hiking and white water rafting...that is what I am hoping to get into.
Bringing the wife too...should we try and stay somewhere other than downtown Denver for the first few days or just rent a car?

Day trip to Estes Park(through Boulder) and make your way back around through RedRocks Theater. Time it for a night concert.

Get a breakfast burrito at the Denver Diner. I ate there about 5 1/2 years ago and I still can't get over how good it was.
I need to head back there this summer. A good friend of mine has a place in Edgewater, just outside the city, with a huge basement apartment. Could see him, tour Oskar Blues, check out the scenery.

If you go to Denver and don't get to enjoy what the mountains offer, you've wasted one hell of an opportunity. Avoid any place (trail, etc) that has a bus parked at the trailhead though

I did that last summer, went up Trail Ridge Road, about 2 months before the floods washed away a lot of the roads.
