Ahh, field trips. Was there anything more exciting than leaving school and riding the bus to a new and exciting destination? If you are a native Coloradoan (or Coloradan, if you so prefer), you may remember taking some of these epic field trips:
Please note, the Colorado State Capitol, Denver Mint, and Lincoln Center are temporarily closed.
Raise your hand if you got to go on a camping field trip during grade school. *Raises hand.* For us Fort Collins kids, it was called Eco Week and it was epic. (Until all the girls in your cabin got into a fight... Or was that just my experience?)
Admit it: You thought you were pretty hot stuff when you stood a mile above sea level.

Proof that geology rocks. (See what I did there?)
If you never took a field trip to the Denver Mint, you should consider doing so now. It truly is fascinating to see where the change in your pocket originates.
I'm not going to lie; I am super jealous of all the western slope kids who got to visit this jaw-dropping marvel in person...
