In this episode we take a three day weekend trip to Denver, Colorado to celebrate Jamal’s birthday. We describe the wild adventure to get to Denver and exploring the neighboring cities, beer culture, rooftop bars (obviously), nature (even though Jamal said no hiking on his birthday!), and Rocky Mountain vibes.

• Flight delays and summer storms
• Going off 90 minutes of sleep
• Visiting past travel friends
• Hiking in Boulder
• Rooftop bars in Boulder and Denver
• Coors Factory in Golden, Colorado
• Hiking the Rocky Mountain National Park in Summer
• Afternoon Tea in at D Bar in Downtown Denver
• Red Rocks Amphitheater

Denver hotels we recommend are the AC Hotel by Marriott for a reliable affordable stay, Urban Cowboy Denver for a unique glam stay, or The Parker Hotel which is a little farther out but so chic.
