Answer 1 :
Some of the sites you can see while driving from Denver to Colorado Springs (70 miles ) are Red Rocks Amphitheater, Dinosaur Ridge, Tiny Town 9 a miniature town ) Casa Bonita ( a typical Restaurant ) Pikes Ridge. Hope you are having fun. I would love to go there.Oh and skiing if you like to do that.
Answer 2 :
It's only a half hour drive so all you are really going to see is Castle Rock.
Answer 3 :
Not really........if you want to go a little out of the way.....Royal Gorge is kinda neat.........do a yahoo search.......
Answer 4 :
More like an hour drive. There's not much to see. I-25 is right on the line between the edge of the prairie and the mountains. The population of Denver goes mostly north of it, to the south toward Pueblo its pretty much zip. It's The West, so buy some guns and hunt jackrabbits? Probably some mining history there if you want to look it up.
Answer 5 :
Just North of the Springs there is a Mining Museum and the Air Force Academy.
Answer 6 :
There are tons of things you can do. You travel to the Rockies and see the Aspen trees. Also, there's Brackenridge, Aspen, and other places to visit. I think Denver has an outstanding zoo. I don't know the name of the place, but there is a restaurant there that serves excellent grass-fed bison, too.

Answer 1 :
Arapahoe Basin, Colorado, 87 miles, vertical drop 2270 feet Eldora, Colorado, 87 miles, vertical drop 1600 feet Loveland, Colorado, 90 miles, vertical drop 2410 feet Winter Park, Colorado, 88 miles, vertical drop 3060 feet Breckenridge, Colorado, 95 miles, vertical drop 3398 feet Keystone, Colorado, 91 miles, vertical drop 2900 feet Copper Mountain, Colorado, 101 miles, vertical drop 2601 feet Ski Cooper, Colorado, 110 miles, vertical drop 1200 feet SolVista, Colorado, 101 miles, vertical drop 1000 feet Monarch, Colorado, 110 miles, vertical drop 1171 feet Vail, Colorado, 119 miles, vertical drop 3450 feet
Answer 2 :
A Basin would be the closest I think for skiing.
Answer 3 :
Breckenridge, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Keystone, Copper Mtn., and Vail are all 80-100 miles out of denver (close to the same from colorado springs, just the other way) They are all close together, and vail, breck, keystone, and a-basin are on the same tickets. (so you can do breck in the day, and keystone at night)
Answer 4 :
Copper Mountain Loveland Arapahoe Basin Keystone Breckenridge Winter Park Eldora Those are located north west & west of Denver. I don't know anything about them. When we go to Colorado to ski, we always go to Beaver Creek, which is west of Vail.
Answer 5 :
There aren't any ski resorts close to Colorado Springs, most of them are off I-70 west of Denver. Eldora is about 20 miles west of Boulder - up Boulder Canyon. Eldora is somewhere the locals day trip to. Winter Park is the closest major ski area to Denver, west on I-70, north on highway 40, over Berthoud pass. If you go to the Dillon area there are numerous resorts close by.
Answer 6 :
keystone
Answer 7 :
probably winterpark, or eldora its the closest ski resort to denver, they are both kinda by blackhawk
Answer 8 :
I really like Keystone!
Answer 9 :
OKAY THEN!!!! The actual answer you want is...Loveland Basin is just 53 miles up I-70 from Denver. It is on the east side of the Divide and the closest place to Denver(or Springs for that matter) if you want a good place to ski. Everything else is through the tunnel and into Silverthorne and beyond. So you would have about 1.5 hours of drive time from Denver, given the traffic on a weekend morning heading for the slopes. Check the conditions before you go. We have not had much snow for November yet. So who knows what will come through in the next month and a half. But you'll still have fun. Enjoy!
