After Rocky Mountain National Park we spent a few days in Boulder and Denver for the Great American Beer Festival. We spent a morning climbing at Flagstaff Mountain outside of Boulder, then headed to our hotel in Denver. The GABF festivities were in the afternoon and evening so Friday morning we decided to drive down [...]
