Asking Coloradans to stay inside is like trying to get us to pronounce the “t” in “mountains.” It just goes against our nature. But as the COVID-19 pandemic has edged its way across the country, we’ve all been ordered to do exactly that (the staying at home part, that is). Luckily, Coloradans also have a knack for making the best of any situation. So while we’ve all (hopefully!) been doing our part and hunkering down at home—and even though an end to this might feel like it’s nowhere in sight—there are still plenty of ways to ride out a global pandemic while experiencing all the glorious things this place we call home has to offer.
We’ve curated—and will continue to add to—this one-stop guide for how to do Denver from inside, as we hope it will provide inspiration for the endless ways you can stay healthy, happy, and curious while also doing your part to flatten the curve. Hang in there, Denver.
Got suggestions? We’d love to hear them. Write to us at digital@5280.com.
