10. Sip on a coffee or a glass of natural wine at this all-day listening lounge
Opened around this time last year in the Santa Fe Arts District, this amazing lounge is spinning vinyl records and serving up craft beer and natural wines. ESP HiFi is not like any other bar that Denver has seen crop up recently (aside from Sunday Vinyl), but something that’s more akin to the Japanese style of lounge rooms where the vibes are chill, the drinks are flowing, and the records are spinning unique, carefully curated beats.

Tickets have just gone on sale for the annual Trail of Lights brought to us by the Denver Botanic Garden. Tickets run for $15 from November 26th through January 2nd. When purchasing tickets, there are multiple slots you can choose from 5pm tom 8:30pm, every thirty minutes, so you’ll have many opportunities.

24-30. Soak in a natural hot spring around the state
It’s almost hot spring season and you know what that means? Resorts and natural hot springs are here for you to soak away the troubles after a long day hiking or skiing, or it’s a great way to warm up on those long winter days.

31-38. Avoid the I-70 at these amazing, underrated ski resorts
Ski season is finally upon us, so what better way to enjoy late fall/early winter than by heading out with your gear at one of Colorado’s world class ski resorts. Of course, everyone’s probably got the same idea, so which resorts should you head to that avoid the dreaded I-70? We’ve got a guide that’s got that covered.
39. Revisit Tom’s Diner, a new Palm Springs-themed cocktail bar
Tom’s Diner is finally reopening after 2 year of closure and some new renovations that we think you should be very excited about. The deli has been transformed into a cocktail bar, the interior decor is retro and colorful while much of the parking lot has been transformed into an outdoor drinking patio with astroturf grass, totem poles and fountains.Try not to think too much of the differences–the fact that it’s no longer serving breakfast, at least at the moment, and the fact that it’s no longer a 24-hour diner. Instead, think of this as a little slice of tropical heaven on Colfax and among the Rocky Mountains. The restaurant opens Wednesday, September 28th from 4 p.m. to close Tuesday through Sunday.
