Default Things to do in CO?

Hey guys, me and the wife were talking the other day about taking a road trip to Colorado this summer, mainly Denver. I've never been to CO and i've always wanted to visit. I was curious what attractions and cool things there are to do. I'm into craft beers so a brewery tour or two would definitely be on the list. I'm also into golf so a recommendation of a nice (but not too expensive) golf course would be appreciated. I'd definitely like to check out the mountains and some states parks too.

I got you on the golf course, the Divide in Kings Deer, it is actually near Monument which is about 35 mins south of Denver, the fees aren't too bad or they weren't when I worked there. It was a premiere course back when I worked there 2001-2002.

Denver's downtown has some good shopping to do, otherwise I never drove up there too much.

I know you can do tours at the coors brewery in golden which is right next to denver. Might see if the blue moon guys do one also. There is always jeep tours and rafting too.

Try to do that during a weekday, the place can be quite crowded on the weekends.
