Top 10 Free Things To Do and Attractions in Winter Park

"80 acres of Chautauqua Park (pronounced shuh-TAW-kwuh) is located right next to Open Space Mountain Park trails, Chautauqua Dining Hall and Auditorium, and Chautauqua Ranger Cottage. Its history dates back to over 100 years ago when Boulder City started preserving wild lands. Now, it gives its visitors an opportunity for unstructured interaction with nature."

"Bring your picnic to one of Boulder’s favorite parks, Chautauqua Park, located at the base of the famous Flatiron Mountains. If you drive here, beware that parking can be limited. We prefer to take the quick and easy bus. Boulder’s public transportation system is excellent."

"This historic landmark park is the gateway to Boulder’s most magnificent slab of open space adjoining the iconic Flatirons; its wide, lush lawn attracts picnicking families, sunbathers, Frisbee folk and students..."

"One of the most iconic sights in the Boulder area, the Flatirons are a series of stunning rock walls that stand to the side of the equally spectacular Green Mountain. There are both large and smaller formations here and if you are feeling active (and brave!) then you can try rock climbing, which first began in the 1940s. If that doesn’t appeal, then there are more serene activities such as enjoying the majesty of the Flatirons by hiking several trails around the area."

"When you drive into Boulder on US-36 you can't help but be impressed by the Boulder Flatirons. The top is one of several perfect spots to see the whole city of Boulder as well as go for a nice, fairly easy hike. Of course, there are some challenging places to hike, but if you park at the NOAA building like we did, the hike into the Flatirons is pretty level."

"If you enjoy hiking, trekking, long scenic nature walks and rock climbing, Flatirons is the place for you to go. The main trails of Flatirons start at the southern end of the town at Chautauqua. A bright summer day or cool Spring day is the most appropriate days to visit this breathtaking site."

"Old Capital Grill, in Golden, serves delicious, rib-sticking home style American fare that makes diners feel like they are enjoying a meal in the Old West.

"Red Rocks Amphitheatre is set between 400ft-high red sandstone rocks 15 miles southwest of Denver. Acoustics are so good many artists record live albums here. The 9000-seat theater offers stunning views and draws big-name bands all summer. To see your favorite singer go to work on the stage is to witness a performance in one of the most exceptional music venues in the world. For many, it’s reason enough for a trip to Colorado."

"Scenic Drive to the Lookout Mountain, offering spectacular views of the area from above and a visit to Denver’s amazing Red Rock Amphitheatre. Eco- Friendly Hotels in Denver"

"Located in the Westminster Hills Open Space, this unique off-leash dog park offers 420 acres to play in. It’s a popular spot and often has canines from all over the city running around from open to close. “It’s partially fenced so every dog enters the park off-leash, which is great for reducing dog fights,” said Patterson, who loves to hike along the trails while her dog runs off-leash."

"We’ve been trying the local Greek/Gyro restaurants and this is the best so far. Pitas are very fresh and soft, salad is fresh as well with all the..."

"Caffe Sole covers all of the coffee shop basics, and then some. It prides itself in being one of the first coffee houses in the state of Colorado, and has been serving our great city for almost 20 years. Caffe Sole fosters a great sense of community, knows how to make you feel at home, and keeps you coming back."

"On February 13, 2021, Caffè Sole is offering a live stream celebration with Latin jazz band Los Chicos Malos paired with a Cuban Feast from Chef Leo featuring Lechón Asado: a Cuban pork roast. Dinner for two is $65 and you can order online."

"Do you love dining with live jazz music playing in the background?. If yes, make your way to Caffè Sole– a small, cozy bistro situated inside Boulder’s Table Shopping Center. They serve an extensive menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner."

"Southwest Golden is now home to the Origin Hotel, the official hotel of Red Rocks Amphitheatre, perhaps the most famous outdoor concert venue in the world having hosted everyone from the Beatles to Bruce Springsteen with 160 concerts and events in 2019. Across the street, the brand new Over Yoder Brewing Company (Golden’s seventh brewery!) has food trucks and craft beer, while next door is Vice Kitchen Wine Whiskey, a perfect pre-Red Rocks dining option for Rocky Mountain Specialties like Elk Tenderloin, Golden Breaded Trout, Salmon BLT, Buffalo Ribeye and Beef and Bison burgers. It’s an easy Uber down the hill to Red Rocks."

"From Business: Nomad Taqueria + Beer Garden, located within Origin Hotel Red Rocks, serves authentic food inspired by travel throughout Mexico, the Southwest’s Four Corners…"

"The Bitter Bar in Boulder has the feel of both a speakeasy and your local neighborhood bar. It features creative and simply made cocktails that are made to be delicious and taste-bud provoking. There’s even a sneaky back entrance that lets you feel as though you’re sneaking into a private bar."

"The Bitter Bar has a large patio in front of their restaurant, that's covered with twinkling lights for evening enjoyment. Although they don't have a full menu anymore, you can enjoy one of their craft cocktails and the longest happy hour in Boulder that lasts from 5 p.m."

"License No.1 is a prohibition-style speakeasy serving cocktails and light bites, underneath the historical Hotel Boulderado. The namesake comes from being the first legal license to serve hard liquor in 1969 in Boulder (although the location had been open since 1909 and was originally Catacombs Bar). Featuring the likes of old fashioned's, manhattans, and sazerac's you will be sure to find similar classic cocktails gracing the menu in the large space that seats 300."

"License No. 1 is where to go for a date night out or an expertly made cocktail. This atmosphere is totally different than any other bar in Boulder. It’s dark, sultry and feels like an old-fashioned speakeasy, located in the stone basement of the historic Hotel Boulderado."

"Here is another creekside dining beauty where you can relax on the porch to the pleasant sound of the river while nibbling on Colorado Proud ingredients. The fresh menu includes Rocky Mountain Miners Salad, the Summer Spinach Salad with White Truffle Beets, Blackened Ahi Tuna Street Tacos, Rosa’s Award-Winning Pork Green Chili, the Pepper Seared Pacific Salmon BLTA, a variety of craft burgers and much more. Start with Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Smoked Trout Dip and House-Smoked Pulled Pork Nachos."

"Fair prices, huge portions, and within walking distance to cute shops and pubs in downtown Golden. Reservations are recommended as this place gets busy!"

"These days, Colorado’s beer scene is most well-known for its small craft breweries that can often be found in even small rural towns. For much of the state’s existence, however, Coors was King, and it’s still a much-loved brand that’s enjoyed all over the country. The Coors brewery in Golden is the largest single-location brewery in the world."

"However, you wouldn’t go to Paris and not visit the Eiffel Tower so you shouldn’t come to Golden and not visit its No. 1 brewery. Adolf Coors put Golden on the map, and this huge facility is worth a stop. Open most days 10a-4p (Sunday Noon to 4p)."
