The hiking, skiing, and mountain scenery are world-class, but so are the restaurants, breweries, and cultural institutions. Red Rocks, the Denver Art Museum, and the LoDo historic district are all worth exploring, and with over 150 breweries and a dining scene boasting 26 MICHELIN-recognized restaurants, there's plenty to discover whenever you have time away from the conference.
