Are you feeling down and in need of a little R&R? I know the feeling… but guess what? Memorial Day weekend will be here before we know it (yes!), meaning a 3-day weekend is headed our way! Want to make the most of this much-needed break? Then take our advice and follow this adventure guide for the ultimate Denver weekend:
Day One
Adventure awaits, so you will want to eat a big brunch to get your day started off on the right foot! Our recommendation? The Strawberry Shortcake Biscuits (with homemade biscuits and REAL whipped cream) and a side of bacon from the DBC! Bon Appétit!
The United States is home to four mints and -- lucky for us -- one of them is located right here in Denver! Take advantage of this awesome (and important) attraction by partaking in a FREE tour.

Nothing says springtime in Colorado quite like a day at the ballpark, and with tickets to Rockies games starting at just $4 each, how can you lose (even if the team does)?

Once the game is over, it is time to head across the street to LoDo's for not just a cold brew and yummy bite, but also one of the best rooftop views in the city!
Day Two
Another day calls for another stick-to-your-ribs brunch... and what better place to fuel up than Snooze, which just so happens to be one of Denver's favorite stops for breakfast burritos (pictured), sandwiches, and eggs benedict.

Day Three
Whether you go to Red Rocks to take a yoga class, listen to a concert, or merely walk around and explore the area, make sure to take all the time you need to really enjoy this fascinating area and all that it has to offer.

Located just down the road from Red Rocks is the fascinating Dinosaur Ridge; a Morrison Fossil Area National Natural Landmark complete with larger-than-life dinosaur tracks, interactive museum, and guided tours of this amazing (and historically significant) area.
Are you ready to have both your taste buds and mind blown? Then you are obviously ready for the family-style goodness that is White Fence Farm, which is the perfect place to eat after spending a long day of burning calories at Red Rocks and Dinosaur Ridge...
