No more Films on Fillmore
On page 101 of my Moon Denver guidebook I included a fun summer event, Films on Fillmore, which I just learned is no longer happening. There are still many outdoor summer movie events, and you can find some at www.denver.org. Many of these happen in Denver parks, up in Boulder and I know the schedule for summer movies at Red Rocks Amphitheater was recently posted.

Denver's 10 Things To Do Before You Die
I saw this article in the Denver Post:
http://www.denverpost.com/ci_5054084
Top 10 Things to Do in Colorado Before You Die and it got me thinking that Denver should have such a list. Or I should write one, since only two of the things on their list would be covered in my Moon Denver guidebook. Here goes (in no particular order):
1. Climb up to the Capitol Dome and take in the view
2. Spend a night in the Brown Palace Hotel (or just take a tour)
3. Visit Confluence Park (and read about the history of founding Denver on the spot)
4. Drive, walk, horseback or bicycle through Garden of the Gods
5. Run the Bolder Boulder
6. See a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater (or just take a hike there)
7. Listen to the elk in Rocky Mountain National Park
8. Check out the Great Stupa of Dharmakaya
9. Take in a Rockies game at Coors Field (or take a tour and be sure to enjoy the view from the Mile High seats)
10. Visit the Denver Art Museum and don't miss the Western art
Agree? Disagree?
UPDATE: Thanks to Elizabeth's funny comments to this post, I feel the need to clarify--although the clarifications are also in my book. Of course I meant climbing the stairs to the inside of the Capitol building dome. They were closed for a few years, but I believe remain open these days for those not afraid of heights or a bit of steep exercise:)
