Just a few minutes west of Denver on I-70 is the place where Buffalo Bill is buried. A great destination steeped in history and run by the Carle family for years. Please take the time to visit the landmark location and you can also check out the Lookout Mountain Nature Center at the same time. (link)

Nestled at the base of Mount Evans in the Central Rockies is a little place known as Echo Lake. Just a short 15 minute drive from Idaho Springs on highway 103 it can also be reached from Evergreen on the same highway. The Lodge has a great restaurant and some lovely items to check out. The lake is peaceful and full of life. You can even make the drive up Mount Evans for some of the most fantastic views in the state.

If you feel like getting a way for a couple days and escape the heat we would love to suggest Creede, Colorado. There are some beautiful lodges, guest ranch and bed and breakfasts. For an inexpensive stay with some lovely people try the Snowshoe Lodge. Clean rooms and homey atmosphere. While in Creede don't miss visiting Rare Things Gallery there is truly something for everyone. (link)
